    She's not the typical black actress . . . hide show

    She doesn't have a 'stereotypical' role that she always plays and her acting is usually a lot freer the most others. Rachel is very easy to watch. She has a wonderful funny bone, and I think -now I'm just assuming, but I think she would be wonderful in really dramatic roles.
