Out of all the light skinned black chicks in hollywood


Paula Patton made it to the big time faster than most light skinned black actresses. She started in 2005 and in six years she is already on the b-list while hundreds of other light skinned black actresses are still d-listers and day players. Why is that?

mirrors and precious put her on the map and her skin complexion has helped as well

I think it's good she waited until fairly recently. It's all about timing in Hollywood. Had she started earlier she would have been up against the then hot property Halle Berry.

Currently Paula Patton is battling Zoe. It will be interesting to see who wins

She's got the right connections and is coming off of a sleeper hit with Jumping The Broom and a juicy role for an up and comer in MI:4. She is also a joy to work for (Heard from a few industry friends)... Allegedly Just as warm and personable as she comes across in interviews.
As could have been said 10 years about about Thandie Newton (up an comer in MI:2). I'm not sure why her career didn't get any higher or have more critically acclaimed movies since Crash (I could be wrong).
