LYNN WHITFIELD: Among 'Women' & Ready to 'Sing'

1. They both sound like hits, and I love Lynn.

2. Ms. Whitfield is a sterling icon of the class, beauty, and character within the vast pool of talented black women in America. Frankly, I consider her among the top of the heap. Sadly, the Hollywood establishment has a long history of under-featuring many of our more dignified artists who represent us as well as Lynn has. We know that she truly deserves all of the respect and accolades of an "A" lister. I hope Hollywood does.

3. If you have seen "confessions of a call girl" you will rethink how great she is. I was very disappointed in her and Tamala Jones for being in that filth. Very disappointed in Lynn cause she knows better and I know she has the money where she just dont' have to do anything.

5. Yes, "The Women" is a classic, from 1939. But why remake it? I'm sick of hollywood remaking stuff. Come up w/some new ideas. It was already done wonderfully once. Why assembly some "names" just to try to make the thing over again. That's so annoying. I encourage folks to check out the original. Now, WE ain't in it; but aside from that, it's a good story. And remember--it's 1939!
Anyway, whatever Ms. Whitfield does, she does well!

6. Lynn Whitfield is one of the most finest older women I know!! I hope that when I turn 55, I can still look as gorgeous as she does. That is fine pure beauty!!

7. I did see Confessions of A Call Girl. Total filth, but at least Lynn had a small part in it, unlike Tamala who has the unfortunate distinction of being the lead in that crap!! And wasn't there also another remake of The Women starring June Allyson?

8. She looks absolutely great for her age. She's a dynamic actress and I am glad she is doing more challenging roles here. It's hard out there for a sista in Hollywood. She is talented indeed.

9. Lynn is such a down to earth person. I know her mother
Jean and the entire family are BUILDERS in our community.
Lynn is one to be held up for our daughters to see.

10. true love Bishop James & Betty R Winfree

The unconditional feeling that you feel for another person. You don't have reasons for loving, you just do. Even if the feeling isn't mutual. The feeling that inspires, that revives, sometimes even hurts. Age, Looks, Social Status, What others think doesn't matter. The sometimes ecstatic, sometimes excruciating blessing from heaven.

What Jesus Christ did for humanity.

When a person thinks about growing old together and not about getting in someone else's bed.


Our Father said to Paul in His blessed word: Paul My grace is sufficient for you, My power and love is made perfect in weakness. Are we limiting God's loving love and grace in our lives?, Are we trying to hide our weakness from one another and Him?, Our most effective ministry will come out of our pain's and hurts.

Always think about Jesus Christ, fill your mind with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable in God. I made a covenant with my God not to look with lust upon a woman and I am asking Christ Holy Spirit to help me day by day.

The truth is, whatever we can't talk about is already out of control in our lives. A simple life in Christ in the respect and fear of God is much better than a rich life with tons of heartaches. Those that have Christ, have life and those that don't have Him, have not life.

11. BISHOP WINFREE: There is a time and Place for prayer and lord knows in these times a lot of prayers are needed. If people could follow simple rules the world would be a better place. Since you seem to suffer from this problem I doubt I would visit your church,much less your web site. Every blog BV has printed over the past few weeks you have over looked a simple rule...."PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS RELEVANT TO THIS BLOG." You remind me of one of those people always in someones face preaching, yet always seen coming out of night clubs. Would it kill you to comment on the blog and just let the link to your web site be enough? I mean no disrespect, but please show some respect for the rules of this blog and the others who comment on it.

12. I've always loved Lynn Whitfield's work from the "Women Of Brewster Place," and of course Josephine Baker's Story. She was on "Shark" for awhile, but, I don't see her on it anymore! Great crime show. I didn't like the fact she did the Tyler Perry films, sorry, I don't think ANY man should play women, it's never believable! (Oops, except Jamie Foxx on "In Living Color"). I wish TV and film would show more Black women over 50, she's is beautiful and definitely the epitome of class! Then, too, on the other hand the story about "The Women" is still going on today! Boys will be boys! Good luck to Ms. Whitfield--she's magnificent!

13. Why on earth would they choose to have Kim Porter in the adaptation of "Mama, I Want to Sing?"

Ronnie at 2:56PM on Sep 25th 2007

14. We have some fabulously seasoned women in Black Hollywood, like Lynn and Vanessa Williams, to name a few. If no one's creating NEW stories for black women, then its ok to put our "sister-spin" on this classic!

15. I have always liked and admired Miss Lynn Whitfield. She's done some excellent work with a variety of roles. Of course, her role in "THE JOSEPHINE BAKER STORY" was one of the best in her illustrious career. Recently, I enjoyed her in Tyler Perry's M'DEA'S FAMILY REUNION" Her very dramatic character portayal complimented the comedy of this movie with the experience that only a seasoned veteran can bring to a role. Lynn Whitfield has a grace & elegance about her. I usually give a "look-see" at anything she's in.
PEACE & BLESSINGS to her and her Family and continued success in her career.
