Taraji P. Henson – Daka in St. Vincent 

In her recent book, Around the Way Girl, the star said the role of a pregnant stripper in the 2014 comedy St. Vincent (starring Bill Murray) was written for her but wasn’t given to her “because someone with the ability to green-light a film couldn’t see black women beyond a very limited purview he or she thought ‘fit’ audience expectations.” The role would go to Aussie actress Naomi Watts.
