The Movie Wizard of Oz - Top 5 Movies of Queen Latifah
0When Queen Latifah started following in the footsteps of fellow rappers Will Smith and Ice-T in making the transition from hip-hop star to actor, fans were pleasantly surprised to discover how natural she was on screen. She launched her acting career with a small role in 1991's Jungle Fever as a waitress with a serious attitude problem.
