Star Trek actress Saldana told InStyle magazine:

"I didn't think I was right for the part, and I know a lot of people will agree,

but then again, I don't think Elizabeth Taylor was right for Cleopatra either...

An artist is colourless, genderless...".

They have enough black actresses to do this.  What about Hudson?  She would be perfect for the part.

so why you want Hudson or black actress to play her?  Zoe is quite an accomplished actress and does have some resemblance to Nina.  :P

All well and good, but you tell me what is your problem with Jennifer Hudson.  She has proven to be an accomplished actress and has amazing pipes.  I simply said that she would be perfect for the part.


You are just picking a fight.
