Naturi Naughton is one courageous entertainer — first she braved being the only chocolate girl in color-struck girl group 3LW, then she bared it all playing Lil Kim in Notorious, then she took on a role in a (how dare they) re-make of Fame. This time she is guest starring in one of television’s most popular (and white) shows “Mad Men”!
We gotta give it to you girl, that’s a great look! Especially since Naturi won’t be playing a maid or an elevator operator.
We’ve watched more than a few eps of “Mad Men” and can count the number of black people we’ve seen on the show on one hand — the Draper’s (now Harrises) housekeeper Carla, the elevator operator Hollis and Paul’s girlfriend Sharon — who disappeared after dumping him at a Civil Rights march.
Granted, the show is currently set in the ’60′s at an advertising firm. Not the most integrated of societies! Especially back then.
Tune in this Sunday September 26th at 10pm to see Naturi in her new guest role.
