In 2022 the 56 year old Actress said you need ‘steely confidence’ to make it in Hollywood because Tinseltown “will tear you down.”
“Not to be confused with your ego, being too big — you’re in a business where you hear more no than yes, and you still got to feel like you want to go back to another audition,” she tells Page Six.
“You will be told that you were not right, that you are too short, or you weren’t strong enough for this character or your look wasn’t right. So you got to find a way to be able to move on and go on confidently.
“Hollywood will tear you down. It is not for everybody that’s for sure.”
She also says that “there’s no loyalty” in Hollywood and you have to be on the lookout for people trying to make money through you.
McCoy explains, “There’s nobody that’s helping people just for the sake of saying I’ll pass on a good word for you. There is a finders fee, partner’s fee, agency fee.
“I have had a couple of people that I said they want to introduce me to a couple of writers or an attorney. People that are actually looking for projects and because they know they can make the introduction they have added on a fee.”
As for personal sins, the “Players Club” actress admits to being guilty of some,
“Quite a few … lust because I love chocolate skin on our chocolate good looking men.
“Gluttony in food cause I am a fat girl in a skinny girls body. Anger because motherf–kers just don’t want to leave me alone sometimes. And pride because we tend to boost about our accomplishments and status.”
She added that, in her mind, one of the most deadly sins is “adultery,” which she adds is “a deal breaker” when it comes to relationships.
LisaRaye gained widespread recognition for her role as Diamond in the 1998 film “The Players Club,” directed by Ice Cube.
She also appeared in several television series, including “All of Us,” “Single Ladies,” and “The Family Business.”
In addition to “The Players Club,” LisaRaye has been featured in movies such as “The Wood,” “Gang of Roses,” “Beauty Shop,” and “Civil Brand.”
We do not agree with Russell all of the time, but this time we think he is right, she deserves her flowers.
