A trailblazer!!

Halle, Beyonce, Angela, Taraji, Gabrielle, Paula, Mo'nique and countless other talented black women in the entertainment industry owe this legend for all that they've acheived, and for all that she fought for! She was a striking beauty up until her last breath.

Rest in peace, grand lady!!
