So who're your favorite long-haired African-American women (whether or not they actually have U.S. citizenship)? I'll start by nominating Rae Dawn Chong.
I just watched her in the forgettable Arnold Schwarzenegger film
, "Commando"
(actually, I watched it specifically because of her), and was impressed again by her magnificent long mane.
(I also enjoy her as an actress--eg., see her signature role in 1981's "Quest For Fire".
) After that, who? Diana Ross? I eagerly await other nominations!
