I haven't seen it. But I would like to point out that what was said here:

She tells the magazine. "I wasn't going to be a prostitute on film. I couldn't do that because it's such a stereotype about black women and sexuality."

is somewhat off base, when one considers all the other prostitute roles given to white women. If you ever talk to actresses, either black or white, they too will tell you: There is way too much prostitution in film, period. And, I agree. I still have not seen "Pretty Woman" because I hate the concept so much: Nice Prostitute meets Nice Rich Guy and Nice Prostitute Ends Up Happy. So, that's how a woman makes it in this country????

Movies like this help give middle school girls in this country the idea that growing up to be a prostitute is a very good thing. It's not a good thing. Not for black women; and not for white women; not for women, period.

Ann Coulter's new book: page 39......


In the wonderful new world created by feminists, an actress's surest route to an Academy Award nomination is to play a prostitute. Among the actresses to have been nominated for Oscars for the devilishly challenging task of portraying a prostitute are Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman), Kim Bassinger (LA Confidential), Jane Fonda (Klute), Jodie Foster (Taxi Driver), Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas), Sharon Stone (Casino) and Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite).
