Prime Time To Shine: 9 Actresses Who Are Ready For Their Big Breakthrough

Anika Noni Rose

Leal’s Dreamgirls co-star and Disney’s first African-American princess has also struggled to make her mark. Tony Award-winning actress Anika Noni Rose has yet to find a breakout role that will allow audiences to appreciate her acting chops as much as they do her singing abilities. However, with the upcoming movie As Cool As I Am (also starring Claire Danes and James Marsden), Rose has the perfect opportunity to appeal to a much more mainstream audience. We know she’s been fabulous at everything else she’s tried, why should a fun coming-of-age comedy be any different.
