Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit”

Familiar Faces

Erica Campbell, formerly Erica Atkins, also appeared in the film as a chorus girl for the competing choir. She wrote about her experience for We Tv:

“Sister Act 2 was my very first time being in a movie! A wonderful lady named Iris Graves-Howse somehow found me and asked if I would be a part of an extra choir they needed for the competition scene in the movie. Who would say no to that? Not me!  I had been singing in my church choir and my college choir and couldn’t wait for a real chance to be on the big screen. I had a trailer with my name on it, and cried when I got in the dressing room, I was so happy and overwhelmed! Being able to watch Lauryn Hill and Whoopi Goldberg and all the amazing people in the film was so exciting for me. All the kids in the movie were so cool; I remember meeting Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kathy Najimy. I even got a chance to sit and talk to Lauryn Hill between takes while they changed camera angles. She told me about her new group and that their first CD was coming out and how excited she was,” Erica laughed about this. ” That group was the The Fugees.”

Erica looked back on the experience fondly. She sang her heart out and owned her role…Good Memories. You couldn’t tell me nothing! I was big time.”
