    Yeah like myself

  • Jade Hummingbyrd

    Where is Phylicia Rashad?? Mrs. Huxtable was a BANGER back in the day! Janet Jackson and Beyonce do NOT count as actresses.

  • Ara

    Pam Grier used to be bad back in the day, Dorthy Dandrige was pretty too particularly in the movie “Carmen”.

  • PURPPLE

    O Yes Lena Horne, they dont have nothing on her either. and how did Vanity get so far down on the list…was it the drugs…

  • Mock Rock Star…shallow as a U know

    __________________________

    Huh? So Latinas dont have African ancestry? There ARE black Latina’s

    The only difference is Zoe Saldana is the only Latina on a list of American women…Latino/a is a culture, not a race….

  • Football1

    Alicia Keys has been in a few movies now, so if Beyonce is on this list A.Keys should be top 5

  • Kim

    Meagan Good???? smh…

    I’m glad to see Zoe Saldana and Kerry Washington on the list. It’s about time somebody showed them some love. I would have liked to see them a little higher up on the list though….

    What about Sharon Leal? How about Taraji Henson? Alicia Keys?? All very worthy candidates. But that’s just my opinion.

  • PURPPLE

    LOL@ Mock…you had to pray to the east several times a day to overcome that huh.LOL

    I was a kid when she was out but i used to think i was “lil vanity” lol. You could not tell me at 8 that she wasnt hot I wasnt just as hot. Action Jackson was my shyt! All the guys thought Vanity was the Ishh back then. I remember!

    So when you come back

    We’ll have to make new love

  • http://myspace.com/toolive4urcrew Katherine

    I’m just going to assume that Zoe Saldana is of Afro-Latino descent. Because her parents are Puerto Rican and Dominican, but I’m just going to assume that they are of African descent.

    Megan Good should be out of the top 5 and Kerry Washington should’ve took her spot.

    I don’t understand how Stacey Dash is only number 22..and I’d keep Pam Grier at number 1.

  • Quina

    #Beautifully Black

    Zoe Saldana is BLACK. She is a black Dominican so yeah she’s black but she shouldn’t be on this list because she isn’t a black “american”.

    Anyway There’s nothing wrong with casting black actors from other countries playing african americans. As long as they are black and speak English fluently then it doesnt matter if they’re afro Latinos or Africans..etc

    Alfonso Riberio. The brotha who played Carlton on Fresh Prince of Bel Air he’s also Dominican. What if someone would say, hey even though you’re black and speak english with american accent you can’t be on this show playing African American cause you happen to be Dominican. That don’t make any sense at all.

  • Redd Tony aka Earth Sign “Simplicity is true Sophistication”

    What up Film!

  • the_one

    I am mad no-Cosby show woman was on here, come on Lisa Bonet even Felica Raashad. Damn people, if App—can make so can these women. Not to mention some other sisters. Ruby Dee should be on here, and before anyone says anything check Ruby when she was in her twenties she blow half these broads off the water, I guess acting well wasn’t a part of the criteria. Can we say I call b.s. on Megan Good, she can barely act.

  • Chubby Chaser

    Mock Rock Star

    Naw, but she was on Soul Train as a dancer.

    The list is also missing Jody Watley’s lil’ sister, Michelle Watley aka Midori. No one sucked dick like Midori in her finest performance MY BABY GOT BACK #9

  • T.

    Couple missing like Phylicia Rashad and Lena Horne. Would not have put Zoe and Lauren London on the list. If those two made the list then why not Reagan Gomez or Joy Bryant??? Meagan, IMO, is not top five or maybe top ten worthy. She’s cute as hell with a bangin “little” body but she looks more teenager than anything.

    Stacey Dash, Nia Long and Eartha Kitt need to be alot higher on the list. Let’s not get it twisted about Eartha. Many of us are too young to have seen her, Lena, Diahann Carroll, Dorothy Dandridge and many others in their prime like we see these younger chicks today to make a real and honest comparison. I’ve seen pics of them from back in the day and heard the “old heads” talking about them like we talk about Beyonce, Halle, etc. They were bangers.

    As a matter of… go diggin’ in ya’ mom’s crates and pull out them old pics they have from back in the day. You know, the b/w pics before polaroids from the 60′s and early. Mom’s, Auntie’s, GrandMom’s, etc. were bangers back in their days like we got now…

    Song dedicated to any beautiful woman who ups for the challenge…being that this is a black site I really don’t anticipate too many challengers:

    You think you’re denying me of something

    Well I’ve got plenty

    You’re the one who’s missing out

    But you won’t notice

    ‘Til after five years

    If you’ll live that long

    You’ll wake up

    All loveless

    I dare you

    To take me on

    I dare you

    To show me your palms

    I’m so bored with cowards

    That say they want

    Then they can’t handle

    You can’t handle love

    You can’t handle love

    You just can’t handle

    I dare you

    To take me on

    I dare you

    To show me your palms

    What’s so scary ?

    Not a threat in sight

    You just can’t handle

    You can’t handle love

    You can’t handle love, baby

    You can’t handle love

    It’s obvious

    You can’t handle

    I dare you

    To take me on

    I dare you

    To show me your palms

    I’m so bored of cowards

    That say they want

    Then they can’t handle

    You can’t handle love,

    It’s obvious

    You can’t handle

    I dare you, I dare you

  • Sydney

    OK, I’m back. . .

    Where’s Lonette McKee (Sparkle, Jungle Fever)? I’ve always thought she was very pretty.

    Speaking of Sparkle, shouldn’t Irene Cara be somewhere on the list?

  • http://itscrazee.blogspot.com/ DinaLee

    If this is a list of sexiest actress why are they listing singers as well? Several of these people are just singers who played in a movie or two.

    “Re Just_Wanna_Know – Tracy Camilla Johns? Isn’t she the actress from She’s gotta have it? Isn’t that the only movie she ever starred in? How did she make the list?”

    Tracy Camilla Johns was pretty hot as Nico’s jump-off in New Jack City..

  • This List Is Bogus

    Come on now! We know damn well this list is not correct. Stacy Dash is 22. Also How is Bey in on the list when she isn’t a good actress and hasn’t been one for a long time??? Bey before Nia Long, Stacy Dash, Kerry Washington, Lisa Raye, Lauren London…GTFOH. She is not by all means sexier than these women. She maybe a better dancer or singer but sexier??? LOL @ AOL for this one.

  • DR.FUNK

    Diahann Carrol is a top 5.No mention of Barbara Mcnair?…Bernadette Stanis?(THELMA ON GOOD TIMES…she was hot)…Freda Payne?…LENA HORNE?(Lena was Beyonce with more talent)

  • GOOD MUSIC’s new ARTIST!

    Yo! This a hard question? You actually can’t pick any of them for the top spot b/c each gorgeous black actress had something unique about them that the next black actress didn’t possess. Keep that in mind when thinking about this. Actresses like Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge were way before my time and now we got em’ like Bey 2 Gab Union and new come ups like L. London and you can’t never forget about Halle B to you see the confusion?

  • This List Is Bogus

    @ Loveyababez

    My Point exactly!

  • Tealeaf

    Dorothy Dandridge

    Pam Grier

    Eatha Kitt

    Many actresses from the 1920′s-70′s should be included.

  • Sydney

    And AOL must be seriously stretching the definition of “actress.” Yes, Vanity was a looker, but she was no thespian. Watch Action Jackson if you don’t believe me. . .

    “Ooh, such a pretty mess. . .He made such a pretty mess of my dress. . .”

    And I love Janet, but she was horrible in Poetic Justice. Just my opinion, and I am a fan of old school Ms. Jackson.

  • http://pinsnneedles@aol.com nit picker

    No Lena Horne, No Phylicia Rashad, NO Regina King…etc.

    But they have Beyonce’s non acting ass and Janet, Vanity?? seriously?

    Although they were on the right track with a lot of these amazing actresses, this list is garbage

  • DR.FUNK

    @CHUBBY CHASER:

    You forgot AUDREY JAMES & TATIANA BROWN

    Those two could replace MANY on this “list”.

    Nia Long, Diahann Carroll, Lynn Whitfiled, Kerry Washington and Vivica A. Fox should have been higher on the list. Janet and Beyonce should have been at the bottom, but Janet at the very bottom.

    I don’t know what’s wrong with their website, but here is my response. What’s up with the pictures?

    ‘No, not really. *nodding yes*’

    Man, you are cold-hearted. SMH

    ‘You were thinking with the little head.’

    Little head? Ouch… My ex didn’t give me the nickname snake (elongated and curvy) just for the sake of it.

    This is the bootleg list. There are some gorgeous black woman that are or were actresses not on this list.

    Yeah, I know I am. It just happens to be that time when it has a mind of his own, and stays up for a while.

    Now I can understand Janet being on the list because hell she was an actress before she was a singer.

    But BEYONCE? I don’t think so. She’s horrible.

    Michael Michele and Sharon Leal are hot too. It’s hard to make a list.

  • qt

    Where is Phylicia Rashaid? She should have been in the top 5 and why isn’t Tyra Banks added. If Jada Pinkett is added I would think Lisa Bonnet and Jasmine Guy?????

  • DeShawn

    It’s not shocking that all the pretty black women are either biracial or have white features

  • daughtercreole

    SOME of the women on this list shouldn’t even be on it
    They forgot about the beautiful LONETTE MCKEE

  • Tameka

    Reading these comments are a trip! They said sexiest actresses not most talented!

  • Tameka

    And some are taking it WAAAYYY to seriously!!

  • Tia

    -Everyone is getting on Janet and Beyonce…Beyonce can’t sing or act so clearly she’s on the list for her looks (connections)…

    But why is LisaRaye being looked over when she damn well doesn’t deserve to be close to the list? Was anything other than her solo stripping scene memorable…

    Another thing who in the hell mentioned Tisha Campbell Martin’s big round face ass. Her best friend Tichina Arnold, I’ll take but not overacting Tisha.

    Where’s Taraji Henson, she’s new to the game but she’s had far more moving and memorable roles that Miss NewNew!

    Megan Good, does anyone remember Eve’s Bayou, that’s all I think when I see her and that grill should have never been let out the house.

    Thanks for putting Nia Long and Angela Bassett on the list. My two favorites! That’s natural beauty!

    Sorry, I went to bed. Here’s my lengthy list.

    Jazz – (Bill Evans, Wes Montgomery, Byrd Parker, Miles, Count Basie, Nat Adderley, Duke, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Henry Mancini, The Marsalis’, and others)

    Rachelle Ferrell – she’s contem. jazz

    Old School – (Kool & the Gang, P-Funk All Stars, Maze, Dazz Band, Earth Wind and Fire, The Beatles, Chic, Morris Day and The Time, Jimi Hendrix, The O’Jays, Michael Jackson, Prince, and more)

    Neo Soul – (I love E. Badu, India.Arie, Floetry (no longer together), Anthony Hamilton, Lauryn, Vivian Green, Jill Scott, Saul Williams (not sure if he’d count for this genre)

    Hip Hop – (Common, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, Q-Tip, The Coup, Dilated Peoples, Tribe, some Jay-Z, Salt-N-Pepa, OutKast, Rakim, Public Enemy, KRS-ONE)

    Classical – Someone introduced me this genre a while ago, so I’m still new. These are my choices (Amadeus, Chopin, Robert Schumann, Ferruccio Busoni, Gioachino Rossini).

    R&B – (Sade, Gerald Levert, Mary, New Edition, Boyz II Men, En Vogue, Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan, Al Green, Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell, Jeffrey Osborne, Michael McDonald, Patti Labelle, James Ingram, and even more)

    I also like reggae, and some reggaeton. I don’t do country.

    Have you ever heard of Okayplayer.com?

  • Tia

    And what about Elise Neal, she’s pretty…Not the strongest actress but maybe this list isn’t about skill so she’s deserving!

    Queen Latifah is pretty and one of the few out there that can give a solid performance regardless of genre!

    And Kimberly Elise is a really pretty lady. She often plays roles that have her downplay her beauty but she really is pretty.

  • Tia

    @ Tameka…if that’s the case it should have just been Sexiest Black Celebrity Women. They are labeled as actresses, therefore they should actually BE worthy of the BOTH titles!

    No offense!

    Mirror… LOL at u r 9:03 comment!

  • tha_wright_one

    I don’t even know where to begin with this crazy ass list! I guess I will start with who should have been included…
    Jennifer Beals
    CCH Pounder
    S. Epatha Merkerson
    Ruby Dee

    Who should not have been on this list:
    Halle Berry
    Jayne Kennedy
    Jada Pinkett-Smith (there are others more worthy)
    Beyonce
    Janet Jackson
    Lisa Raye
    Stacy Dash
    Lauren London
    Vanity
    Eartha Kitt
    Nichelle Nichols
    Paula Patton

    Tamara Dobson and Pam Grier should have shared a spot.

    Top Five should have been:
    Dorothy Dandridge
    Angela Bassett
    Diahann Carroll
    Sanaa Lathan
    Nia Long

    Gotta get back to work now, but this list was given no thought obviously.

  • Hotstuff

    Phyllicia Rashad (sp)?????

    but if I had to pick one based on sexiness first and then talent, I would have to pick Angela Bassett

  • Jasmine

    If you can say that Janet is an actress, what happened to Whitney Houston??? Y’all sleeping on this lame list. C’mon, what about Ms. Lena Horne, Keisha Knight Pullam, Kimberly Elise, Diana Ross, the listing is too long to name.

  • Jasmine

    Why do people keep insisting that Beyonce is an actress? She cannot act, Janet either!!!

  • Candygril

    Now we all know Miz.Jackson cannot act. She messed up the last Tyler Perry movie especially with the screaming scene. I’m not quite sure what happened to her – I loved her in Good Time and Different Strokes. And what about Tasha Smith – I think she should be on the list as well. Jill Scott was good ini this movie too.

    As for Apollonia – she’s hispanic – so she wouldn’t appear on this “black actress list” and Vanity would.

    As for the others on the list – who

  • Sydney

    Film

    Wow, that is a lengthy list! I like many of the names you listed.

    I saw Rachelle Ferrell in person years ago in NYC at The Blue Note, and she was phenomenal — just phenomenal.

    I saw a concert a few years ago with Queen Latifah, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, and Floetry (when they were still together). It was one of the best live shows I’ve been to — I thought Jill had the strongest voice, but Erykah’s performance was truly memorable as well.

    I haven’t really delved into contemporary classical (other than listening to newer composers on NPR), but I have Beethoven and Mozart, along with some other music. It’s soothing to the soul. :)

    “R&B – (Sade, Gerald Levert, Mary, New Edition, Boyz II Men, En Vogue, Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan, Al Green, Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell, Jeffrey Osborne, Michael McDonald, Patti Labelle, James Ingram, and even more)”

    I love all these performers!

    No, I haven’t heard of Okayplayer(dot)com, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

  • Manhattan

    @Chubby Chaser

    OMG! I remember hearing abt this when I was really young but then the rumor went away. Is this what caused the end of Jayne Kennedy’s career????

  • Manhattan

    I say Lola Falona should be on that list!

  • Micaroni715

    Halle Berry, Meagan Good, Nia Long, Vanessa Williams, Sanaa Lathan, Angela Bassett, Kerry Washington, Joy Bryant, Lauren London are the hottest right now. Pam Grier is the sexiest of all time. Janet Jackson and Beyonce are not actresses. Jada and Gabrielle are overrated. Vivica Fox is a mattress. Lela Rochon has seen her better days. Robin Givens is ordinary. Stacey Dash is still getting it done.

  • WakeUPeople

    This list is wrong on so many levels!!!!

  • Film

    Sydney

    For some reason, I knew you’d be familiar with Rachelle Ferrell. Yes, she is very exceptional, and her six-octave range is truly a great gift. I saw her perform at the Blues Alley over two years ago, and I’ve been to the Blue Note and the Birdland in NYC. I also saw her perform in LA with Champagne King at the Rose Bowl Stadium for a non-profit organization.

    *If you’re not home yet, have a safe trip back!

    stevie wonder must have made this list up.

  • Izzy V.

    Beyonce is an actress now?!?! Hell, they might as well as added Cassie to that list.

    Stacy Dash #22,Paula Patton # 26..Hahaha What a joke………….

  • http://melbmelc@email.unc.edu Melzy

    How is Meagan Good #4?? To me, she doesn’t have the elegance or sophistication that is posessed by more than half the women on this list. There is something borderline-trashy about her smirk…

  • http://myspace.com/tuchdasky mizz.lurke

    This is NOT up for discussion because Sanaa Lathan is the sexiest black actress!

  • ms prim

    Meagan Good should NOT be on this list. Period. Heck, Beyonce, Janet need to go too. My vote is for Nia Long and Pam Grier but AOL screwed up big time by not putting Phylicia Rashad on here.

  • hope4more

    here the hell is Lena Horne? She stole Hollywood long before any of these chicks did

  • the baroness

    The list is severely flawed! They forgot the Horne!! as in Lena! ‘Sup with that?!!

  • the baroness

    AND Eartha Kitt!! “Maarrrcccuuuusss, Daaarrliinnggg!”

  • the baroness

    oh, wait… she’s there. just WAY too far down on the list!!!

    Michael Michele

  • We cant act at all Club

    Please remove us from your list ASAP. We cannot act our way out of a paperbag. Most men find us attractive but…well…the fact is we CANNOT ACT!

    Beyonce
    Halle Berry
    Janet Jackson
    Lauren London
    Vanity
    Robin Givens
    Kerry Washington
    Pam Grier

    This is the short version. Our list is VERY long and we’ve run out of ink, sorry about that.

  • Fed Up with airheads headlining movies!

    I wish I were in charge of the Writers Union/Guild. Id refuse to “write” for those non-acting actresses. Maybe THEN some of the real talent would get roles. Isnt that why we go to the movies, to watch the script unfold with fine acting? Can I get a co-sign?

  • EyeLurveDevon~

    ya’ll forgot Phylicia Rashad. She is so classy and gorgeous. I love Lela Rochon, too*

  • dreamer40

    oh, and what about tichina arnold and tisha campbell!!

  • mike

    Zoe Saldana is Latina… Really shouldn’t be on this list, unless we are including latina actresses under the title “Black actresses”.

  • Loryn

    Mike…many Latinas ARE black. Zoe Saldana is still a black woman. She is Dominican in terms of culture, yes, but she is still racially black. Doesn’t she look black to you? Because she does to me.

    People tend to forget that many “Latinos/Hispanics” come in all colors and many of them have African blood in their veins, including the ones who deny it and despise anything associated with black features.

  • Loryn

    BTW…here’s how I think it should be.

    Lynn Whitfield
    Dorothy Dandridge
    Lena Horne
    Angela Bassett
    Stacey Dash
    Vanessa Williams
    Nia Long

  • Loryn

    Phylicia Rashad
    Pam Grier
    Lonette McKee (because we look alike)

    there are many others, I’m sure.
