This is true. But there isn't an actress in Hollywood who is fly enough for the role (aside from Halle, who (i) is black* and (ii) couldn't pull it off anyway). They shouldn't have put a face to the character.

* I imagine this wasn't a windfall of acting jobs for black people, but what epic films these days are? Matrix**? Gladiator? Star Wars?
** I take back Matrix which had a few roles thrown their way.
