Model Beginnings: As one of the original Supes, Naomi is a legend in every sense of the word. Her career took off at age 15 and never looked back (well, except to throw a cell phone or two).
Big Acting Break: As a child, Naomi featured in music videos like Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” and Culture Club’s “I’ll Tumble For Ya,” and played Snow White in a TV series called The Chiffy Kids, and she also scored a reoccurring role in 1988 on the Cosby Show. In the mid-90s, she waded back into the waters of film with small roles in Miami Rhapsody and Spike Lee’s Girl 6 but most of her forays were bit parts. Many of her credits are cameos as herself – we’re partial to her appearance on Absolutely Fabulous.
The Verdict: Frankly, we’re too scared of her wrath to pass harsh judgement, so we’ll just say this: at least she looked good doing it.
