Mo’Nique’s Role
Instead, Mo’Nique took on the role as Precious’ disturbed mother who only wanted someone to love her and was willing to allow her daughter to be abused for her to get “love” from Precious’ father.
Mo’Nique said she found the experience of playing Mary therapeutic, having been sexually abused by a family member herself, and that she took the role to raise awareness of sexual abuse, though she initially had doubts about the part.
In 2010, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this film.
