History Creator / ZoeSaldana

* CreatorBacklash: Against ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl''.

* FakeNationality: She often plays African Americans despite being Dominican. Likely due to ButNotTooBlack. Although she is black.

* OldShame: You'll notice ''Crossroads'' is absent from the above list of films.

** She said, "Those weren't the right people for me. I'm not talking about the cast. The cast was great. I'm talking about the political stuff that went on behind closed doors. It was a lot of above-the-line versus below-the-line, extras versus actors, producers versus P As. It was very elitist. I almost quit the business. I was 23 years old, and I was like, "F- this!" I am never putting myself in this situation again. People disrespecting me because they look at my number on a call sheet and they think I'm not important. F- you."
