Beautiful Black Women 2
73More Beautiful Black Women
My first Hub of beautiful black women was so popular I decided to do another.
A lot of you e-mailed me with ideas and requests, so I tried to get all the requests in here this time.
I didn't get all of them, but I did try.
C'mon, its not like there are just a couple of beautiful women out there...LOL
So this time we have actresses, singer and women that seem like they do it all.....
Thandie Newton
Thandie Newton was born Thandiwe Adjewa "Thandie" Newton on November 6th, 1972 in London, England.
She is of Zimbabwean and English decent.
Thandie (pronounced TAN-dee) made her acting debut in the 1991 Australian film Flirting with Noah Taylor ( Vanilla Sky, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) an a little known actress named Nicole Kidman...LOL
She gained more attention in 2000 when she appeared in Mission: Impossible II.
But she is probably most widely known as Makemba "Kem" Likasu on ER.
Thandie's next upcoming projects are the Horror/Mystery/Thriller, Vanishing on 7th Street and a comedy, Huge.

Somali model, actress and entrepreneur Iman was born on July 25, 1955 in Mogadishu, Somalia.
I really wonder about both her and her husband David Bowie, because I don't think either of them has aged much in the past twenty years.

She did her first modeling assignment for Vogue in 1976, and went on to work for Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Yves Saint-Laurent.

Kerry Washington is my personal favorite. Down right gorgeous...and EXTREMELY talented!!! I had the opportunity to meet her at a screening party for "The Last King of Scotland" and didn't want to say something stupid or make an ass out of myself so I stayed away. Ok, that's one more regret. But DAMN she's beautiful!

Something about Kerry Washington. She was great to watch on screen. And Angela Bassett could perform the Yellow pages and make it enthralling. Good job lady.
