Tribute to EBW Thandie Newton

I have been a fan of Thandie Newton (IMDB) ever since I watched her first movie, Flirting, in 1991. Flirting is one of my favorite movies and she is absolutely adorable in the interracial love story. Thandie has starred in so many movies and I try to watch anything she stars in. She appears the most like an EBW in Mission Impossible II, RocknRolla, The Chronicles of Riddick, and 2012, although in some of those roles she plays an evil (but gorgeous) character lol. She has starred in blockbusters such as Interview With the Vampire and Crash that won the best picture Oscar. She appears less like an EBW in The Pursuit of Happyness, Beloved, and For Colored Girls. I just never like it when she doesn't play a charming, sweet, intelligent woman or a mischevious but well-dressed villian lol. I have to see her performance in W! These are some things I've learned and noticed about Thandie Newton:

• On the red carpet she is always dressed in something pretty or elegant, never anything too revealing or sleazy. She always appears to carry herself with dignity and grace.
• Thandie has training as a dancer...maybe that is why she looks so graceful and feminine.
• She is smart too and has a degree in anthropology from Cambridge University!
• Thandie has recently gone natural with her hair and it looks great! 
• She tends to get roles in big movies and I think it's because of her mainstream appeal. She does not fit the negative stereotypes about Black women.
• She often gets paired with White men in her roles (e.g., Tom Cruise, Gerrard Butler, Simon Pegg, Cillian Murphy, Jon Bon Jovi and others). Is it because the film makers think she's the type of woman who White men would be attracted to? She is actually married to a White man. Or is she just able to get the roles written for White women?  Either way, she gets great roles that many in Hollywood would die for!
• I have never heard any negative gossip about her (e.g., fighting over a man, cheating, drugs etc.). If there are any scandals surrounding her then she is able to keep them quiet. 
• Unfortunately, Thandie has admitted to having an eating disorder and appears very thin sometimes. This is never something I would advocate for anyone and I hope that she has overcome the problem.
• Thandie is married and has two children.
• She is actually the daughter of an African princess...royalty!!!

There you have it: beauty, brains, career, marriage, and children...exactly the type of EBW I want to be! I'm posting some great Thandie Newton videos below. I really studied them! Pay attention to her makeup, hair, wardrobe, mannerisms, and the way she speaks :) Now I'm going to watch her and Jon Bon Jovi in the Leading Man!
