    PS to my first post - I forgot to mention Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, who were both outstanding in The Help and Hidden Figures.

    The first person who came to mind is Shari Headley. She's been in a ton of stuff, but I was first introduced to her via the soap opera All My Children. My mom was a fan of the show, and so I grew up on it. Headley's character was a cop called Mimi. I think she was probably the first strong female figure I ever saw on TV and I became enamored with her.  I thought she was gorgeous and decided to steal her hair style. I grew my hair out to one length to emulate her and have not changed the style since. I actually hadn't thought of her in many many years until I saw this question, but it's kind of weird how something I saw as a child still impacts the way I present myself to the world today. It's also weird thinking of it in terms of race- something I'd never done before either. I stole a black woman's hair style and kept it my whole life. I feel like a poser now. lol 


    Also a current fan of Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, Tracy Morgan, Will Smith, Samuel L Jackson, and Danai Gurira.
