What Happened to Tracy Camila Johns?
According to that same New York Times article, Lee wrote She’s Gotta Have It with Tracy Camila Johns in mind as Nola Darling. It was Johns’s first and last leading role. Despite doing some great work as Darling, afterward, the actress did very little film work. There was a teeny role in Lee’s Mo’ Better Blues, and then New Jack City, where she played Gee Money’s shady girlfriend Uniqua. Johns would become a born-again Christian and leave acting behind — that is until she appeared briefly in Lee’s Red Hook Summer in 2012 in a very small role as Mother Darling.
