Drew Barrymore sat down with actress Nia Long to discuss "Charlie's Angels" casting and how she felt "nervous and bad" about the lack of diversity in the film.
Barrymore sat down with actress Nia Long to discuss how the latter found out she didn't get the part. The two discussed the "odd" rejection letter Long received, which critiqued her eyebrows and her appearance, saying she looked too "old." Taylor Penley is a production assistant with Fox News.
"There were all of these conversations about diversity, but no one was really pulling the trigger," Long said. "I think this is really just the result of the fear of putting a Black woman into a film that never cast anyone Black."
