"Slow Burn". Not a good movie and not a passing movie like these others. It was basically a rip-off of "The Usual Suspects".

Jolene Blalock plays a black (actually bi-racial) attorney who is actually a white woman posing as a black women, complete with braids and slight tan.

Blalock's features like her full lips make her a good fake bi-racial person.

Blalock played T'Paul the Vulcan on "Enterprise".

I remember seeing "Slow Burn". That was an interesting film. I remember it was only three people in the theatre to view this feature. It was me, my friend and some elderly woman. The elderly woman left after like ten minutes.

The film itself was slightly confusing, mainly because I usually do research on actors playing in the film before I see it, and there was nothing saying Jolene Blalock was biracial, plus she looked like an ethnic Caucasian with straight hair.

The movie started making sense toward the end, but by then I was just hoping the film would end.

Imitation of Life- originial version w/ Claudette Colbert . I have never saw the movie from beginning to end. It is on sometimes on TCM.
I have seen the version, 1950's, w/ Lanna Turner, Juantia Moore and Sandy Dee several times. I just love so much about the movie and the racial part is really only one , part of the movie. The title is about that subject and the focus is Sarahjane, but the movie has several big storylines. I love the costumes, set ,everything. It was a well made movie and probably daring at that time.
