Bizzee" (1993) and "Jason's Lyric"
(1994). Before finding small screen stardom, she
played the doomed singer who caught the attention of
Denzel Washington's private eye in the underrated
"Devil in a Blue Dress" (1995) and made

and a conquest of ladies' man Samuel L Jackson in
"Eve's Bayou" (both 1997). Carson next
portrayed Martin Lawrence's girlfriend in the prison
comedy-drama "Life" (1999). |
