Comment: I can't help but chuckle a little bit, I guess there actually is someone who will say "no" to O-free. Keep on keepin' on Ms Romero.

Name: McNasty

Comment: Oprah is a mediocre actress and she just can't play in anything no matter how many dollars she can throw at a project. Obviously Romero wants a good product and not an expensive one!

Name: dport

Comment: Oprah would have been great since both characters of Troy & Rose were older folks in a setting of 'way back when'. Plus, just seeing her & Forest in my head they would have made a good couple for stage.

Name: Sigmatherunner

Comment: Kudos, that someone put the brakes on Oprah. Hasn’t she played the victim woman role enough?

Name: DCGG

Comment: I'm glad they told Okrah to sat that azz down...any role Okrah plays she goes directly into old Mrs Sophia mode...that shyt is played...

Name: bigchassie

Comment: to be honest, i think Oprah would have worked this role. if not her, E Sapatha Murkinson could have done it.

Name: beboyz

Comment: All I can say is Ouch Okrah!!!

Name: BigBlackRod

Comment: In my opinion, Oprah sucks the air out of any movie she's in; she appears to have NO sense of humor...PEACE.

Name: musbdherbs

Comment: Oprah would've been a fine choice for this role. She and Forrest would nail it!

Name: DOne

Comment: I also think that Oprah would have been good in the role. I think that she's a good actress, however, its hard to tell because every character she as played has been similar. I would actually like to see her play a more modern woman

Name: cookyd

Comment: Kudos to Mrs. Wilson. She did the right thing.

Name: McNasty

Name: bigchassie

Comment: MCNASTY/JACK>thanks for correcting me. but yall know who i was talking about. let me type her name so i won't forget how to spell it. S. Epatha Merkerson.

Name: bigchassie

Comment: interesting name too.

Name: MelodyCool

Comment: dport, I agree and even August Wilson was excited about the project. This is what happens when these men marry non-black women. They have no allegiance to black folks. Amani Toomer found that out when he put his ex-Russian wife in charge of his foundation for underprivileged kids.

Name: MomaKnowz

Comment: Well... them woman SAID it was about loyalty, LOL. She just didn't say what KIND of loyalty!

Name: ATLGirl

Comment: MelodyCool,I googled Toomer. Couldn't find anything. What happened?

Name: Big10

Comment: I can remember at one time Eddie Murphy talking about making "Fences" what happened?

Name: gjohn510

Comment: ATLGIRL, Melody was referring to this: Giants star Amani Toomer claims in court papers that his estranged wife "basically abandoned" her work for his kid charity - doling out only a measly $392 in funds the pitiful 2005 figure is a drastic drop from the nearly $150,000 that his Amani Toomer Foundation donated to needy kids the previous year, according to papers filed with the IRS. He filed for an annulment. The wide receiver claims his wife committed "fraud" because she promised to have kids with him when they wed - and then went on to have four abortions. He also gripes that his estranged spouse, a chiropractor and law-school student, never took his name and refused to cook, clean or take medication for her depression. She also began smoking, knowing it could aggravate his asthma, and dissed his "manhood," he said.

Comment: gjohn510, you said it all. Look which former editor of Vibe magazine that placed the most hideous photo of Mary J Blige on the cover for spite. Expect more attitude as they come in full possession of everything black men are worth. The late Reginald Lewis' widow is a prime example. She liquidated all his %*$ets and plowed them into ventures for the benefit of filipinos only. The widow Romero "knew" her husband wanted to complete the project with Oprah and Forrest Whitaker so she did the opposite...because she could. I'm glad word is out.
