Where Are They Now? 10 Black Actresses Who Should Have Blown Up Big…

Sharon Warren

If you watched the movie Ray, I’m sure you know by now that everyone who acted in that film was AMAZING. But someone who really stood out in particular for me (and a friend of mine) was Sharon Warren, the young woman who played Aretha Robinson, Ray Charles’ mother in the film. She gave a lot of raw emotion (the funeral scene for her youngest son was TOO sad) and just showed off some good ‘ol acting skills in general, but where is she now? Well, after Ray, homegirl did the movie Glory Road with Derek Luke in 2006, but afterwards, pretty much went and stayed missing after that. We know Hollywood is a struggle for black actresses, so it’s not a surprise that things didn’t take off like they should have, but it sure is a shame.

    Sharon Warren did her thing in Ray…Loved her…But that definitely wasn’t a flattering picture of some you claim to be “a friend of”…

    How about Lourdes de Oliveira from the French/Brazilian classic Black Orpheus? She’d be in her 70s now, but what a talented beauty, Apparently acted in only one other movie.

    I so love this list. I was wondering what happend to some of these ladies as well. They should have included the one that played J.C baby momma on New York Undercover. I can’t think of her character name she was a pretty good actress.

    Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. is the one where she is pregnant but hiding it from her family by secretly throwing away food at night so they think she’s just fat and overeating right? I saw that when I was in elementary school and once in high school I think

    I think Tracey Camilla Johns committed sadly suicide many years ago…that she felt her career was a failure.
