The actress’s tribute has since sparked admiration from fans across the globe, celebrating the bond and mutual respect between two powerful Black women in film.
“Dear Ms @tarajiphenson, From the first time I saw you in Hustle and Flow, to every single role you have played, to now, Straw.
Oh my goodness. Two straight hours of taking me deep into every scene, I felt every pain, tear, line, smile, twitch and turn, and every single move you made. You got me soaked in those moments.
The most believable performance I have ever seen on screen.
I had uncontrollable tears as you ripped that character apart. You are a phenomenal actress, and there’s NO ONE like Taraji. Your craft is a gift, real, deep, raw and rough.
My all-time favourite Actress.
Thank you once again for igniting that fire in me. Please take your flowers.
GOD BLESS YOU”
