Their Dos Inspired Us: The Top Black Hair Heroines In Films
6. Queen of the Damned (2002)
Aaliyah as Akasha, the long slumbering Egyptian vampire Queen, brought that role to life due in no small part to all her windblown, furiously flowing, raven haired glory. She looked like a creature of nature and a force to be reckoned with. Sadly, the film was completed after Aaliyah’s passing, and although many might say that Queen of the Damned did not live up to its much anticipated hype, it was nice to see Hollywood actually cast a black woman as an Egyptian for a change.
