Underappreciated Actress of Color #8: Rachel True

One of the great things about Rachel India True is her acknowledgement of the importance her role in the The Craft is to girls of color in America.  When she mentioned how black and brown girls still come up to her and thank her for representing them, I fell in love.  That's a woman who gets it, y'all, and like all of the ladies I've listed, she's been on the grind trying to land major roles or keep a show on for more than five seasons.  In some ways, she was my "Fallon Bowman" of the silver screen.

Despite the undeniable popularity of The Craft, I don't think Rachel got her due.  She and a blasphemously underappreciated white actress who was also in the film (another goddess of mine) slowly but surely fell by the wayside in Hollywood, and for that I am deeply upset.  She's fun, and gorgeous, and has been consistently willing to act in all kinds of films.  But once again, Hollywood disappoints.
