I guess she is not a very good actress


I have not seen her acting in anything but I guess since most of the discussions here are about her appearance that her acting is not worthy enough for discussion.

Watch her films before you make any lame judgements,please. THE GREAT DEBATERS, and EVE'S BAYOU, which she's really good in (it was her first leading role, I think.)

You're wrong. Jurnee is a tremendous actress. Like Carmen Ejogo, she has been overlooked. There are so few roles for black women, only a small number work. The few roles that are available for black women, the same actresses usually are hired (Gabrielle Union, Megan Good). Jurnee can act circles around most black actresses. She gets her time to shine in Tempations.

yes it is sad that the same black actors are used over and over. Carmen ejogo is a good actress and was very good in sparkle. im glad jurnee gets her shine and tht jimmy fallon shouted her out
