90370
Queen Latifah (real name: Dana Elaine Owens, born March 18, 1970) is an American Grammy Award-winning rap artist and singer, and an Academy Award-nominated actress.\n\nEarly life\nLatifah was born in Newark, New Jersey to African-American parents Lancelot Owens (a police officer) and Rita (a high-school art teacher); they divorced when she was eight years old. Her first performance involved singing the number "Home" from the musical, The Wiz, in a high school play. Her stage name, Latifah, means "delicate" and "sensitive" in Arabic. It was given to her when she was eight by her cousin. While in high school, she was a power forward on her basketball team. Her father also gave her lessons in karate and firearms use.\n\nMusic career\nLatifah started her career beatboxing for the rap group Ladies Fresh. In 1988, local DJ Mark the 45 King heard a demo version of Latifah's single, "Princess of the Posse", and gave the demo to Fab Five Freddy (who at the time hosted Yo! MTV Raps). Freddy helped Latifah sign with Tommy Boy Records. They released Latifah's first album, All Hail the Queen, in (1989); at the time, she was 18. This debut managed to be both a critical and commercial success and was followed by the albums Nature of a Sista and Black Reign, which contained the hit single, U.N.I.T.Y.. After releasing four rap albums (the fourth being Order in the Court, released in 1998), she released a soul/jazz standards album in 2004 called The Dana Owens Album.\n\nActing career\nFrom 1993 to 1998, Latifah had a starring role on Living Single, a FOX sitcom; she also wrote and performed its theme music. She began her film career as a supporting actress in movies like House Party 2 (1991) and Set It Off (1996).\n\nHer first big role was in the film version of the musical Chicago; her performance as Matron "Mama" Morton received an Academy Award nomination for "Best Supporting Actress". Latifah did not win the Oscar in 2003; however, that year she co-starred with Steve Martin in the film Bringing Down the House, which was a big success at the box office. Since then, she has had both leading and supporting roles in a multitude of films that received varied critical and box office receptions, including Scary Movie 3, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Taxi, and Beauty Shop.\n\nHer latest film, released in early 2006, is a romantic comedy/drama entitled Last Holiday. Latifah has received some notably positive reviews for the role, including a statement by film critic Richard Roeper that "this is the Queen Latifah performance I've been waiting for ever since she broke into movies" [1].\n\nOther work\nLatifah is a celebrity spokesperson for Cover Girl cosmetics; she has starred in several commercials for the line, as well as a commercial with fellow spokeswoman and singer, Faith Hill. She has also had her own talk show, The Queen Latifah Show, from 1999 to 2001.\n\nOn January 4, 2006, Latifah received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She is the first female hip hop artist to do so.\n\nPersonal life\nLatifah's older brother Lance was killed in 1992, in a biking accident involving the motorbike that Latifah had just bought him. She still wears the key to the motorbike around her neck and dedicated Black Reign to him. In 1993, she was the victim of a carjacking, in which a friend of hers was shot. In 1996, she was arrested due to possession of a small amount of marijuana and a hand gun; she was fined and sentenced to two years probation.\n\nIn her 1999 autobiography, Ladies First: Revelations of a Strong Woman, Latifah discussed how her brother's death lead to a bout of depression and drug abuse, which she later recovered from.\n\nBecause of her portrayal of a lesbian in Set It Off and her avoidance of discussing her romantic life, tabloid media sometimes speculate that she is a lesbian. Latifah responded to these rumors in her autobiography by saying: "I

There is no book.  It's a purported speech from a slave owner named Willie Lynch, on how to ensure your slaves stay enslaved.  It is of dubious authenticity.  The source I mention deconstructs this speech.

Well, I think if this is for a report you better narrow down your topic or you may find yourself in over your head. What kind of famous females? I'll try to name just a few for you that I think are awesome women! To start with my personal hero and the wonderful woman for whom I was named... Corrie Ten Boom. Corrie was in her late 50's during WW2.She along with her elderly Father, and Sister were imprisoned in a Nazi death camp for hiding many Jewish friends in their Dutch home. Corrie lived for many years after she was freed from prison she went on to co-author several books including but not limited to "The Hiding Place" (which is also an ok movie but the books are always better) :) And Prison letters. So there's a war hero for ya. Don't forget about someone who may be in your life that is serving our country! If you are looking for someone in the news a lot there is Condoleeza (not sure of spelling) Rice. Also there are probably a million women you could consider in the entertainment business. Not the least of which are; Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Brittney Spears, Janet Jackson... sorry on this one I do my best to know as little as possible about this type of "famous" person. LOL anyhow you could also consider someone like Iris Johansen who is an excellent author. What about a Biblical (or other religious) female figure. You could use Mary Magdeline, Mary the Mother of Jesus, The Queen of Heaven Isis, or Venus the Greek god of love... I'm sure there are a ton of other religious female figures as well.\nOk so I hope one of these suits your needs... good luck
