I was born in 85 and my mother was a Felicia so I totally understand. I hated her as a child because she was never there for me. She chose to run the streets. By the time I was in my 30’s I learned what she went through as a child and it helped me to realize that she had never healed from some MAJOR things that happened to her. Now I just love her while she’s here
It’s such a blessing that you learned that while she’s alive. Some never learn. Until it’s too late. To have a good relationship with your parents seems to be a novelty now. God blessed your ears to hear and be receptive to her trauma. And blessed your heart to be able to forgive her. 🦋 it’s amazing.
Wow. I met this woman in person. She owned a restaurant and I remember saying “omg, are you the lady that played on Friday?”. She defensively replied “yes, but you know that’s a character. It’s not real”. I sarcastically responded like, I know that. So sad, how playing a character can change your life and stereotype you. Chris Tucker had a hard time not being viewed as “Smokey”.
@@DkHoward2 Chris Tucker and John Witherspoon did an interview and they said they really didn't make no money off of that movie. I thought they was joking but they seem sincere about it.
That's unfortunate she responded in that way, but a lot of actors and actresses I guess don't want to be tied to or viewed as the one role they played that everyone remembers them from. Jaleel White kind of does the same thing when people bring up Steve Urkel, Alfonso Ribiero with Carlton, etc. Some end up being typecast, or their major role might cost them other roles. Chris Tucker might now be known more for what he did in the Rush Hour movies than Friday. Back to Angela, that's still cool you were able to see her in person though.
She didnt say people were being mean to her. Shes talking about the character she created. Shes saying how she created a character who could represent someone in real life. She wants you to look deeper into falicia. Like why was people so mean to her? Why people abandoned her and stuff

The fact that she’s crying , displays how she genuinely internalized “Felicia”. We honestly overlooked and probably still overlook too many “Felecia’s”. Art imitating life… wow
@@SeeSee7 and your reply is definitely an example of internalizing! lol. No need to get bent. I feel sorry for you if that is how you react every time someone disagrees with you.👋✌
Playing that character REALLY showed her how cold and heartless the world can be. And she was right about Deebo, people don't become that way overnight. We live in a fallen world.
@🐞𝔖𝔬𝔪𝔞𝔯 ℭ🐞 first of all, Tupac was not raised in the hood, he went to a school for the arts for acting and he wasn't brought up in any thug or ghetto environment.... we still have free will to choose as we please regardless of our circumstances.... We all had hard times in life and many of us still move towards the light otherwise we'd all be on drugs, thugs, sex workers, etc all because we were raised in undesirable environments..
This made me cry. I was a Felicia. I was addicted to heroin and ice for 12 years and was in so many abusive relationships and was just completely chewed up and spat out by the city and the people around me I've been clean for 7 years now. I love how she talks about Felicia like she was really going through this stuff it's so sad. She deserves an Oscar for how she created and portrayed her. What a QUEEN ❤️
God bless you sister and well done to you , stand tall and stand proud always, you’ve conquered yr demons , many don’t get to achieve that , dont look back because yr not heading that way Enjoy every day of the rest of your life, you deserve it. Love and blessings from London U.K 🙏🏽❤️⭐️💪🏽
Amazing to hear your response. Congratulations for surviving through your process. I pray that you are actively doing something to give back to this next cycle of people that need your insight. Maybe writing a book from your in depth knowledge, helpings those that are relyed on to help those that are going through such a terrible time due to underlying issues. Blessings to you. You are stronger than you know and needed more than you can know or imagine. 💕
People are sooo messed up inside to think she was playing her real life, but a real life situation or subject. To walk up to her or any other actor and express You like like the, hate them, You shouldn't have done this or that in the movie, etc is being ignorant to me!!! Oh yeah, I haven't viewed this vid yet, but know how folk are regarding actors & actresses on the big & small screen!
I've been treated like Felicia. Singled out, hated for no reason, abused, etc. People dismiss me & even tell me, "Bye Felicia", when they can't handle my truth spoken against them.
Hi sis that's deep. I see what you're saying. I hope you keep speaking the truth. It's disrespectful calling people out there named. I have been called a queen latfiy, big Shirley because of my weight. Even when I had a Jerry curl in elementary I was called dj quick and Mr potato head from my long time ago ex home girl. I was called ugly. I will automatically fight. Now I know how to use my words now with our fighting. I like to speak positively, but some people can't handle the truth when I speak either. They want me to look dysfunctional so they can look good. Blessing🙏🏾 words to build
@@TargetedCreole82583 don't get me wrong sis. I'm healing from other truma, betrayal and abuse. That I recently endure from people. This new thing that happened to me I don't think I will never "get over it" and I'm not sure I will never heal about the event that has happened to me. I pray that I won't turn bitter. Everyday. I apologize I'm a victim of narcissist abuse. But my childhood things I told you about yes, I'm over that. Have a beautiful day. I'm sending healing peace and blessings your way. 🙏🏾❤️
TO ANY FELLOW ACTORS, THIS IS WHAT A REAL ACTRESS LOOKS LIKE. THE LEVEL OF EMPATHY SHE HAS FOR HER CHARACTER EVEN 30 YEARS LATER BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES🥹 Much Love and Respect✨💜
I grew up in Watts during the 80’s and 90’s “crack attack.” There were so many people affected, and the stories were overwhelming in number. After all the pain of watching family and friends get taken, people became desensitized in defense. It was sad. I still feel guilt over shooing “baseheads” away from our yard trying to go through the trash. People treated them like decrepit stray dogs-unafraid of them, but annoyed. My young neighbor was an addict, and I was her best friend (I was 8, she was 24). When she saw me wandering the neighborhood by myself, she would make me sit next to her and tell her what I was learning in school. I’m pretty sure now that she was trying to protect me. I had no clue of her addiction until she died, and my dad had to explain what an overdose was. It was a very difficult era.
@Zeḵaryah Fourteen i remember in elementary school the cops showed us those old drug scare movies. It was people strung out, going through withdrawals, etc. They showed little kids actual crime scene photos! It really traumatized me because I lived in the same house as two addicts. I’ll never forget that feeling.
WOw that’s so sad. It’s crazy the trauma as African-Americans that we had to go through or even Latinos. The trauma anybody grown up during that time. Scaring when I look back at it. That crack attack error crazy. I remember before it started people were normal and then like one day they weren’t. People stumbling around and it scared me it reminded me of the night of the living dead.
I have a deeper respect for Angela after this interview. She brought those characters to life. Spoke as if they were indeed actual people. When you do such a beautiful job bringing a character to life some people can't distinguish the actor or actress from the actual characters. Give her flowers while she's here....
I would love to see Felicia in the last Friday and be healthy and doing better.....but her saying NOONE cared I feel like is alil wrong cause when her sister seen that she got hit she stood up to the neighborhood bully and also got hit for it that's when craig beat the breaks off him
@@koldbl0odedshark yeah but she came at the end.. she definitely defended her sister. remember her sister said hes always putting his hands on her. It took her seeing physical wounds to react. Even though she knew what was happening the whole time. She couldn't leave him. Maybe if someone told her earlier on to..
@@koldbl0odedshark crazy how we really analyzing this movie now.. the more i watch it. It really everyday life in certain hoods. Born and raised in Cali. Im just now realizing i just got to it being a norm. Damn..
@@sinverrette9803 tbh ider her saying that 😳 she was just someone I never paid attention too but it would be cool if she's in "last Friday" I think Angela would wanna see her be healthy and in a new life I want to now for sure lol
I needed to see this interview at this moment. My wife’s cousin was an addict who lived on the street. 2 weeks ago, he was found murdered on a field (probably by dealers he owed)… But before the addiction took over, he had a family, steady job, nice car and lots of friends… everything and everyone started drifting. It’s a very scary thought. Like, no one is too good or stable to plummet. We need to be compassionate to our people caught in addiction, as difficult as it gets.
Wow sorry for your guys loss I hope he is finally at peace now 🙏🏼 But I really like your comment, I’m in recovery myself and have been for years now. My mom and aunt also battled addiction. My mom died from hers and my aunt will if she stays on her path…. But anyway, I’ve always seen so many rude comments when it comes to addiction and it was refreshing to see such a compassionate and empathetic comment. Sending you and your wife healing and positive vibes 💜
she's not saying people in real life was calling her mean things...she's crying over a fictional character because she's saying there are real felicia's in real life that people treat bad
@@njv1234 they are 2 different people who handle stuff differently…. We see how he handled getting slapped which I’m sure many others would’ve handled that differently. So comparing people as if we’re all synonymous is taking away from who we are as people. Don’t be dense :///
@@njv1234 you don’t know what chris rock did tho….maybe he did in private, but couldn’t because he’s a man and men are limited to what they can show vulnerability or tears for. Like another person said, they’re two different people (add in the fact that dynamics for men and women differ) On another note, I felt sad for Pookie in New Jack City, how he relapsed and was murdered was tragic.
@@njv1234 she's a woman. they are more emotional than us men. i was just addressing this, because for some reason people were thinking people was calling her names whenever they saw her for the character she played
This just showed me how deep some actors get into character to try and bring that character to life. They dig deep to understand the character!! They become them on screen! Acting is no joke
I can remember feeling heartbroken for this character. She was clearly a victim of domestic violence and trapped in a helpless situation. It just hurt to know it's real life for many women.
People are so dumb, they can’t seem to discern the difference between movie and reality. This is how Camron managed to get shot. All because of that last scene in Paid In Full, so stupid.
It's definitely not just women. Recent CDC studies clearly show that 50% of domestic violence is reciprocal between both parties. In nonreciprocal cases, it is actually the women that perpetrate violence in over 70% of domestic violence cases. Let's stop the lies and false victimhood, the truth is out.
Felicia was dismissed to the level that even the audience decides to dismiss her...to the point that we say “Bye Felicia” in real life. No one ever said “hi Felecia, how are you?”
She brings up some very interesting points and highlights how our brokenness as a people led us to look scornfully at Felicia and Debo instead of feeling compassion for them and people like them in our lives.
She just brought a whole new meaning and layer to Felicia I never considered. It's so interesting how addicts are treated like pests.. these are desperate, emotionally broken people using drugs to escape their troubled realities. We really should have more compassion. I think she knows a real life "Felicia" and can speak for them which is why its so easy for her to come to tears.
Not sure if you had “Felicia’s” around you in your daily life everyday all day? Those broken people don’t have compassion for you in their desperation. As she stated even Debo was gonna steal the microwave. She woulda borrowed it and not gave it back the lesson is not to enable these people but if you’re going to help them help them with tough love or help that will really rehabilitate them.
@@26chrish26 there’s a range of Felicia’s just like there’s a range of geniuses. Drugs don’t change peoples characters. A good hearted person will still have a good heart when they’re a drug addict. I’ve known crackheads, meth addicts, heroin addicts, pill heads and potheads. I met some potheads & pull heads that’s more scandalous than crackheads and methheads.
Angela may know an addict or 2 but i think it was her deep-dive in creating Felicias past that brought Angela to appreciate what Felicia could have gone thru
This women? She's one person. Therefore, she is a woman. Women is used to reference more than one woman. I wanted to help you with this because I know it wasn't a typo. Lots of people are writing the plural form of the word woman to speak of one. Good day
Angela’s compassion and humanity has such a refreshing presence I love how she broke down her creative process and just the way she articulated everything. Its a little spotty to follow but it’s because she talks from the end to the beginning almost like a prophecy. Very Beautiful Woman Inside and Out May God continue to Shine through her In Jesus Name 🕊🙏🏾🌱💗
What a great interview. 1. Artists deserve their flowers. 2. Even in a comedy film, there are real world influences that give stories texture and substance. 3. The fact that she was so emotionally responsive about her character and deeply committed to being authentic.
Wow...She brought art to life in a character, and to hear that people ASSOCIATE actors/actresses with their characters & treat them in REAL LIFE based on their character is so shocking..Art Imitates Life❤..nothing more, nothing less
This is a real thing... I recall being out and sitting in a White Castle a woman clearly on drugs began talking about her children. As I sat and listened the people I was with dismissed her and told me to come on. I remember profoundly stating to my friends " She wasn't always like this!"
I'm having a hard time getting past the fact that u started ur story of with " I was sitting in a white castle...." 🤣🤣🤣🤣. YEAH, BC THAT THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT GO INTO A WHITE CASTLE! at least have enough decency to hide ur shame in the driverhru line like the rest of us!
I’ve never heard anyone say anything other than “bye Felicia” when referring to her role in Friday. Friday was a comedy that I never took serious although some of those thing do happen in the hood 😂 I guess we really are our own worst critics...🤷🏾♀️. She did a great job in that role and she’s aging beautifully. I hope she lands some serious acting jobs.
For most people It was just a character. Imagine we looked that deeply into every character. There are several movie's that left people hangin' as far as what happened afterward's or how was their upbringing.
*PISSES ME OFF* to hear that people treated her badly, *she played a role…* smh I would love to meet her and tell her that she BODIED that role she did a great job!
This interview was so thought provoking. I remember watching “Friday” and feeling sorry for Felicia. And literally wondering how she ended up like that. But I never dwelled on it because of course I was watching the movie. But it’s amazing to hear the breakdown of her character from a more sensitive point of view. And to remember, that she was a character/person who represents a lot of people then and now. Cant be so quick to judge people or dismiss their feelings because of their current situation.
It’s crazy because when I think of her I don’t think of Friday I think of her in House Party 3 first because that’s the first time I seen her as a kid.
She killed that role. I really enjoyed her character and Deebo was a real villain and Felicia was a real victim who didn’t value herself enough to not mess with him. She is right that Felicia was discarded
As a black woman I absolutely felt this. As black women sometimes it feels like we walk around the world invisible to everyone but each other. You can be a high paid, educated black woman and still get zero respect so just imagine how we throw away the Felicia's of the world.
@@mayankingrevisited8815 No one chooses that life, but when you see you have to be you just do it. A survivor doesn’t want to be one, they never wanted to be a victim that had to become a survivor but it happened. Being strong and independent isn’t a choice, it’s a survival technique, society told us we didn’t matter, our men didn’t support us mentally, emotionally, or physically. History taught us that being dependent and weak hoping society or your man will carry the weight will leave you vulnerable. We’ve evolved to strong and independent.

She's a hell of a method actor to still feel this strongly over this character. It's sad that people were actually bullying this woman over a movie. She didn't even play a hateful part. She was the comedic relief for most of the movie, and the cause of the climax of the movie when she got abused. I'm sad to see it take such a toll on her like this. I truly feel she was a loved character, despite her depiction. I always got a "go home Rodger" vibe from the phrase "bye Felicia". Never saw the hate behind it.😔
No she's upset it's the peak of her career -___- Eazel was treated just as bad and was more friendly than Felecia. Eazel at least made the best of his situation by having a positive attitude at all times and trying to not steal by offering his services. Felecia just mooched.
Comedic relief? You can’t be serious. What about Chris Tucker? Bernie Mac? AJ Johnson? The guy who played Mr. Parker? John Witherspoon? Hell even Craig’s mom sister & girlfriend were funnier than Felecia… No disrespect to her but ANYBODY could’ve played that role. If she were as funny as you say she’d land more movie roles. I honestly feel bad for her dealing with weirdos harassing her but I’m not about to lie to make her feel better. She was NOT the comedic relief.
People being mean to her over the role weren't doing so because of the role. They were being mean because she is a pretty woman they are jealous of and using the role as an excuse. Why didn't AJ Johnson's character 'Ezelle' (who also played a crackhead) get the same mistreatment? 🤔
A cult classic, that dealt in a comedic way with hood culture. Only through Angela's professionalism and deep investment into this role, do we now realize how casually apathetic people are and how they throw away and inhumanely treat those with drug issues. Comedy is a medium through which we can see people's trauma without being deeply affected by it, but it can also highlight the holes in our souls which unfortunately due to our laughter, we're also unaffected by. This was a dope interview.
The thing about dealing with addicts in your life is that you have to find that impossible balance between having compassion for them and keeping their toxicity out of your life so it doesn't bring YOU down with them. Addiction doesn't just affect the addict. It affects everyone in the addict's life. The line between support and enabling is so thin that it's hard to even see. ...not to mention that a lot of addicts become very abusive and start pushing people away - so even when you want to help, they won't let you. ...also, _a lot_ of us "realized how casually apathetic people are..." long before Friday ever came out. Lol Addiction has been a problem for most of human history.
It's sad that role stuck with her for the rest of career but she still looks good aging gracefully. It's a movie and reality some people can't separate the two.
When you are a method actor, you immerse yourself in the role and you treat it as if the character is a real person. Alot of the time the character may remind you of people you may actually know or have seen. Deep shit
I mean prayers to her but to say she’s aging gracefully cmon man🤦🏾♂️ don’t nobody want to be mean but we all see this lady bro, she look horrible! And we all know these actors be bat shit crazy but got talent so it’s overlooked 🤷🏾♂️
Wow this is totally a new take on Felicia. I never saw it from this perspective and now when I look at the movie it has a whole new meaning and I can see how messed up she was treated. I never realized how deep this goes. And what’s more crazy so that Felicia is a representation of those in real life in her shoes. Damn. Y’all the real unsung.
Exactly. We all know a "Felicia" especially if you're from hood. Those struggling with Substance abuse are still people and alot of time we forget they have a story as well.
On behalf of everyone that didn't know that the actor who played Felicia had a background of Felicia's story and was so emotional in this hype interview I stand behind her 30 years later the 90s were terrible the '90s many of our families were stuck on drugs many of our neighborhoods were violent please share with her that we stand behind her her emotions were heartbreaking
My Mother battled with addiction from the 80’s off and on til her last day . I never knew how much she went through as a child . The way Felicia was dismissed and almost invisible , that was the same my moms was treated . Wish people who have these problems get the help they deserve .
The fact that this woman feels the pain of the performance and character speaks for its self. There is no way you can argue that. She put herself there and this was a role that holds cultural value. I applaud her performance and commitment to the role of Felicia.
Exactly what makes a great actor. She became the character and to do that, actors start internalizing the experience of the character. The brain can’t differentiate between the experiences of the character and the person playing the character. This happens because on some level, the experiences are real, even though they happen on a set, they happen. Some actors need intensive therapy after playing a traumatized character, to let go of those experiences and regain themselves.
Sadly people don’t show much respect to movies like House party because it’s not as stereotypical as Friday… but she really plays amazing characters and I hate people were mean to her
It just goes to show you that people can get too emotionally caught up in a character where it can be scary. Felicia to me, could be your mother, aunt, sister or grandmother. Oi remember the crack era. The anger over the theft. But also the heartbreak that it's someone in your family or you knew who were once vibrant and ended up down that path to degree that they would submit themselves to anything for that drug
@@a1ac953 I never disliked Felicia at all it was DEEBO who I couldn't f**n stand. That's why it was soooo satisfying when Cube cracked him over the head with that brick when they had that infamous fight.
Angela's message is so profound!! I say this all the time! We are so quick to judge yet we know nothing about their story, nor do we take the time to ask!! Thank you for this message!!
Respect to y'all for bringing this character to light. I remember her as a stand up on Def Jam, I had no idea of her depth. She should be receiving residuals for that phrase.
One of the dangers of method acting when your character isn’t a main character. You get way more invested in their story than anyone else. They didn’t explore Felicia because she wasn’t the focus of the movie. You creating back stories and way more depth than can be explored without changing the story. This sister should have got the rights to Felicia, and explored all this in her own book.
Yo.....but I think she needs therapy writing a bio on a crackhead in a comedy movie....comedy movie...comedy movie she was in for 5 min....I could do that....hey put on dirty clothes and scratch lmao....it was Felicia
It’s crazy how after all of these years she is still deeply connected to the character. Not many actors have that devotion and dedication nowadays. She became her. I love it
It wasn’t that big of a role. I think this ladies career never took of like she wanted. So she has a lot of resentment and this dude happened to give a soap box to someone who had a minimal role in a classic movie. She should be grateful to have been part of history. What she did with the opportunity is her own situation. All that extra crap she added about the character are things that most actors do to bring the character off of paper. 🤷🏿♂️. Not that big of a deal. And the crap about melanin and eating watermelon? Like WTF? 😂😂
@@c0nundrm ALL OF THIS!!! I was sitting here scratching my head wondering why she was getting so emotional over Felicia's role but at the same time I understand there are women like Felicia in real life who gets dismissed and written off as worthless crack heads. But in this particular instance I felt like that GIF where the guy had question marks floating around his head.
She played her role, had a solid acting career, money isn't everything but she made it. She landed a role a lot of women would've been happy to have. Props to her for doing what she did.
That would be dope if she did an actual movie on Felicia. Call it “By Felicia”. A play on words to the “Bye Felicia” that People are used to hearing or saying. People would flock to that movie thinking it’s a comedy but it end up being a thought provoking in depth movie.

Wow. We really did overlook the humanity of Felicia. And we often do that in real life when people are in the grips of addiction. I think like they did “Bel Air” and made it a drama, they could do that with “Friday”
I love how passionate she is about the character Felecia, she's a true actress. She's right, the character Felicia was disregarded. We mostly disregard people like Felecia. Makes me think about that whole "Bye Felicia" thing that everyone was saying a few years back. People still probably say it. I can say that I treat everyone the same. There's a drug addict that hangs out at the store and has been for years. I treat her like anyone else. I buy her a soda, chips and give her a few dollars when she asks and if I'm able to. She's a sweet girl, just lost and alone. I also give her a few encouraging words but I never judge or mistreat her.
I did something similar at the supermarket today. People were looking at me strangely as I had time to stop and talk with a drunk older women who was upset. She had fought in the army 30+ years ago and was clearly sufffering from PTSD.
To be fair, Felicia’s sister Debbie was hella protective over her. The mom allowed her to live at home, she was just in Vegas. We can assume she was also protective over her. Not everyone treated her that way.
This is very moving. It shows how seriously Angela Means takes her craft as an actor. She brought Felicia to life with compassion and hard work, and the character still lives with her. Respect
Felicia was iconic. She wasn't even a messy or super trifling drug addict. It's everyday life though. That's how we treat our drug addicted friends and family members. Her role was significant though. Brandy looked out for her as best she could.
That’s because if you don’t, and you entertain their BS, many of them will rob you blind and suck the LIFE RIGHT OUTTA YOU. SO to stop that, don’t even entertain their SH#T from the START. And so many families have been burnt by “To-do-good” crackheads that that’s is exactly what they’ll get when they come begging again!! “BYEEEEE! BYE FELICIA/WHOEVER!!”
I was not expecting this deep emotional response. Hopefully she realizes we all adored her brief role she brought to the screen in a comedic way. One thing about Black pain/struggle we’re going to find the funny regardless. That being said, I appreciate her insight that we have to understand Black women pain is often overlooked and goes unnoticed. Sigh…sending healing to all of us with broken hearts 💔 love and light ✨

My God! She is a true actor. She still feels the emotions of a created character. She's a great actress that must guard herself against becoming lost in her characters. Amazing. Decades later and she still feels the emotions and injustices Felicia suffered.
You know you've reached the pinnacle of acting when the world treats you like the character you've played. I couldn't imagine being that for nearly 30 years. This is suffering from success
Felicia was absolutely stunning to be honest, even strung out she was naturally beautiful. I always said Felicia would have been the baddest chick in the movie if her life was different.
I've always wondered about Felicia. I saw her exactly the way that you saw- she didn't know how to shuffle the cards that life dealt her but she was kind and beautiful. It would be nice to see another Friday.... Possibly named "Another Friday"- with Felicia thriving in life. Thank you Angela.
U think the Felicia character was kind ????? I mean I ain't like how people was bullying her cause she was off/slow ( ice cube pushing her head, smoky snapping on her) but she was annoying AF n begging all da fuckin time, but yeah I guess she wasn't a bad person , but she wasn't Mary Poppins either
@@datboycotvdotcom9593 Yes. I do think Felicia is kind. She endured a lot of stuff that mean people wouldn't put up with. She did all that begging for her bully ass boyfriend so that he wouldn't steal it from whomever she was begging from. She sacrificed herself and got her ass beat for other people.Now that's kind.
Whew 🥲 my goodness she tugged on my heart strings! As an actress this is what we strive for 🙏🏽 that raw emotion that merges us into the character 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I'll never watch Friday the same.
K song know though...at what cost? She seems to be living some of the feeling IRL it seems like there’s a risk of getting *too* submerged in a role. Does it happen??
How was Felicia unprotected and how was she unloved? Didn't her sister drag her out the house and threatened to kick Deebo's ass for hitting her? That sounds like love to me.
As someone who has trained to be an actress I can definitely respect the time and effort she took into developing Felicia’s bio. Felicia is an iconic character that has transcended the Friday movie into pop culture as a whole, with even people who have never seen the movie knowing the whole “bye Felicia” thing. So her work was not in vain and she can use this platform to now speak about important issues so definitely not in vain
Really? I thought everybody loved Felicia but its weird because as the years went on I think more about her in House Party 3 then Friday mainly because she's was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD in House Party 3
Wow. She really gave this character life. I appreciate the insight to the character because these were never questions I came up with as I just watched the film as a “comedy film.” I now see that it reflects so much more that I as a viewer did not fathom of the time.
She just developed the HELL out of those characters, characters I have been acquainted with and THOUGHT I knew for almost 30 years. I will never watch this movie the same way ever again. Wow. This was awesome.
This is so heart moving. I remember a black girl came into my job, looked liked a teen maybe barely 22. She was very dirty and had peed on herself and asked for pants. I bought her some leggings and my counter manager who was non black was so mad. I had the audacity to say maybe she’s feeling sorry for herself. I think maybe I thought she would go easier on her but I don’t recall her doing that. We both were so open about how Christian we were.
@@AbiyahbenJudah Hi. I had to add my thoughts on your reply. I too was turned off by hypocritical judgemental so called Christians. The truth of the matter is that we are a humans and all sinners. God wants us to humble ourselves and ask Him to help fix our character defects. Some aren't even aware that they're being hypocritical sadly. I don't adhere to organized religion. I just say I am a saved woman of God. But trust me I had to go through many years of bad living to even ask God to save me. What I'm sayingis don't let hypocritical people mess with your relationship with God.
@@michelletelem730 Michelle my relationship with THE MOST HIGH has been growing at outstanding levels ever since I learned about these so called hypocritical Christians & the heritic teachings of Christianity. The truth is that Chritianity breeds people as such, who don't really believe the bible and who don't adhere to The Fathers commandments preaching faith alone can save when the bible clearly states that faith without works is dead, I.e antinomianism. Thanks for the words but that Cesare Borgia style of the messiah says you believe in some sort of organized religion.
As a fellow actor, she definitely did her homework! I am so glad I came across this gem! Regular folks think that acting is just pretend and you get your script and just “do it”.. nooo you have to take the time to really learn your character and everything that is written in the script may not fully explain who you are playing… the best actors are those that make it real ❤️☮️
Angela is such a beautiful and empathetic person. That’s why she was so successful at acting. She deserves more respect outchea. Thank you for this interview.
U a very good looking sister. It seems hard to find a woman like u available without any children ready to get married and not playing hard to get.the only woman in love with me is persian. She lost mad weigh just to be with me. Its crazy
Her description and take away just made me cry real tears. The movie will ALWAYS be a cult classic. For laughs for most, but her breakdown is just soooooooo.....Real!
Bring Felicia back as a successful ex-addict and portray her owning a business or something! You got to do a whole flip on her character for a new Friday movie 🎬
@@jennzifur I understand how you could be confused I was rushing and typing this at the same time so my thought wasn't coherent. I was in the mindset that cube would've wanted to keep her broken and busted. Yes I do say that bringing her back as a successful clean woman who has changed and leveled up a lot is good for the show. Because Debbie her sister is a positive influence on her life and that Spurred her on to greatness.

She played this character very well. She was still beautiful because we all had a family member or knew someone back in the day who was a "Felicia". Very sad people treated her as her real character in real life. 😢

I was born in 85 and my mother was a Felicia so I totally understand. I hated her as a child because she was never there for me. She chose to run the streets. By the time I was in my 30’s I learned what she went through as a child and it helped me to realize that she had never healed from some MAJOR things that happened to her. Now I just love her while she’s here
Happy for yall. Our parents did the best they could with what they had at that time.
It’s such a blessing that you learned that while she’s alive. Some never learn. Until it’s too late. To have a good relationship with your parents seems to be a novelty now. God blessed your ears to hear and be receptive to her trauma. And blessed your heart to be able to forgive her. 🦋 it’s amazing.
I feel your emotion through your comment. I completely understand and proud of the man you have become. Keep striving and heal. Much love ❤️
That hit strong
A lot of us have come to the realisation that our parents did the best with the tools that they had ❤️
Wow. I met this woman in person. She owned a restaurant and I remember saying “omg, are you the lady that played on Friday?”. She defensively replied “yes, but you know that’s a character. It’s not real”. I sarcastically responded like, I know that. So sad, how playing a character can change your life and stereotype you. Chris Tucker had a hard time not being viewed as “Smokey”.
Hence why he didn't want to do another Friday.
I think she still has her vegan restaurant in L.A
@@DkHoward2 Chris Tucker and John Witherspoon did an interview and they said they really didn't make no money off of that movie. I thought they was joking but they seem sincere about it.
That's unfortunate she responded in that way, but a lot of actors and actresses I guess don't want to be tied to or viewed as the one role they played that everyone remembers them from. Jaleel White kind of does the same thing when people bring up Steve Urkel, Alfonso Ribiero with Carlton, etc. Some end up being typecast, or their major role might cost them other roles.
Chris Tucker might now be known more for what he did in the Rush Hour movies than Friday.
Back to Angela, that's still cool you were able to see her in person though.
People are so dumb. 🤦🏾♀️ I’m glad she did this interview. I hope it gets alllll the exposure.
This woman is a magnificent actress. She really feels her characters feelings. I love that she was really feeling this role. Good job 👏🏿
People being mean to her only shows me how great of an actress she is! She killed that role! Being great can be a gift and a curse 💯

I grew up in Watts during the 80’s and 90’s “crack attack.” There were so many people affected, and the stories were overwhelming in number. After all the pain of watching family and friends get taken, people became desensitized in defense. It was sad. I still feel guilt over shooing “baseheads” away from our yard trying to go through the trash. People treated them like decrepit stray dogs-unafraid of them, but annoyed. My young neighbor was an addict, and I was her best friend (I was 8, she was 24). When she saw me wandering the neighborhood by myself, she would make me sit next to her and tell her what I was learning in school. I’m pretty sure now that she was trying to protect me. I had no clue of her addiction until she died, and my dad had to explain what an overdose was. It was a very difficult era.
That was you shooting bassheads back in the day damn 🙄 🤣
@@frankwhite5948 she said shooing not shooting
@@frankwhite5948 LOL
@Zeḵaryah Fourteen i remember in elementary school the cops showed us those old drug scare movies. It was people strung out, going through withdrawals, etc. They showed little kids actual crime scene photos! It really traumatized me because I lived in the same house as two addicts. I’ll never forget that feeling.
WOw that’s so sad. It’s crazy the trauma as African-Americans that we had to go through or even Latinos. The trauma anybody grown up during that time. Scaring when I look back at it. That crack attack error crazy. I remember before it started people were normal and then like one day they weren’t. People stumbling around and it scared me it reminded me of the night of the living dead.

I needed to see this interview at this moment. My wife’s cousin was an addict who lived on the street. 2 weeks ago, he was found murdered on a field (probably by dealers he owed)…
But before the addiction took over, he had a family, steady job, nice car and lots of friends… everything and everyone started drifting. It’s a very scary thought. Like, no one is too good or stable to plummet. We need to be compassionate to our people caught in addiction, as difficult as it gets.
Right It doesnt take much...sorry to hear that. My condolences 🕊
Peaceful Journey To Him🙏🏿👑🙏🏿
Wow sorry for your guys loss I hope he is finally at peace now 🙏🏼 But I really like your comment, I’m in recovery myself and have been for years now. My mom and aunt also battled addiction. My mom died from hers and my aunt will if she stays on her path…. But anyway, I’ve always seen so many rude comments when it comes to addiction and it was refreshing to see such a compassionate and empathetic comment. Sending you and your wife healing and positive vibes 💜
Condolences to you and your family. ❤️

@@njv1234 she's a woman. they are more emotional than us men. i was just addressing this, because for some reason people were thinking people was calling her names whenever they saw her for the character she played
This just showed me how deep some actors get into character to try and bring that character to life. They dig deep to understand the character!! They become them on screen! Acting is no joke
I can remember feeling heartbroken for this character. She was clearly a victim of domestic violence and trapped in a helpless situation. It just hurt to know it's real life for many women.
People are so dumb, they can’t seem to discern the difference between movie and reality. This is how Camron managed to get shot. All because of that last scene in Paid In Full, so stupid.
It's definitely not just women. Recent CDC studies clearly show that 50% of domestic violence is reciprocal between both parties. In nonreciprocal cases, it is actually the women that perpetrate violence in over 70% of domestic violence cases. Let's stop the lies and false victimhood, the truth is out.
I always felt bad for that character. I’ve always hated that word “ bye blah blah. I don’t even like typing it much less say it.

She just brought a whole new meaning and layer to Felicia I never considered. It's so interesting how addicts are treated like pests.. these are desperate, emotionally broken people using drugs to escape their troubled realities. We really should have more compassion. I think she knows a real life "Felicia" and can speak for them which is why its so easy for her to come to tears.
Not sure if you had “Felicia’s” around you in your daily life everyday all day? Those broken people don’t have compassion for you in their desperation.
As she stated even Debo was gonna steal the microwave. She woulda borrowed it and not gave it back the lesson is not to enable these people but if you’re going to help them help them with tough love or help that will really rehabilitate them.
You will be food for these people. The Crack Monster is real.
@@26chrish26 there’s a range of Felicia’s just like there’s a range of geniuses. Drugs don’t change peoples characters. A good hearted person will still have a good heart when they’re a drug addict. I’ve known crackheads, meth addicts, heroin addicts, pill heads and potheads. I met some potheads & pull heads that’s more scandalous than crackheads and methheads.
Angela may know an addict or 2 but i think it was her deep-dive in creating Felicias past that brought Angela to appreciate what Felicia could have gone thru

She's a hell of a method actor to still feel this strongly over this character. It's sad that people were actually bullying this woman over a movie. She didn't even play a hateful part. She was the comedic relief for most of the movie, and the cause of the climax of the movie when she got abused. I'm sad to see it take such a toll on her like this. I truly feel she was a loved character, despite her depiction. I always got a "go home Rodger" vibe from the phrase "bye Felicia". Never saw the hate behind it.😔
No she's upset it's the peak of her career -___- Eazel was treated just as bad and was more friendly than Felecia. Eazel at least made the best of his situation by having a positive attitude at all times and trying to not steal by offering his services. Felecia just mooched.
Comedic relief? You can’t be serious. What about Chris Tucker? Bernie Mac? AJ Johnson? The guy who played Mr. Parker? John Witherspoon? Hell even Craig’s mom sister & girlfriend were funnier than Felecia… No disrespect to her but ANYBODY could’ve played that role. If she were as funny as you say she’d land more movie roles. I honestly feel bad for her dealing with weirdos harassing her but I’m not about to lie to make her feel better. She was NOT the comedic relief.

People being mean to her over the role weren't doing so because of the role. They were being mean because she is a pretty woman they are jealous of and using the role as an excuse. Why didn't AJ Johnson's character 'Ezelle' (who also played a crackhead) get the same mistreatment? 🤔
A cult classic, that dealt in a comedic way with hood culture. Only through Angela's professionalism and deep investment into this role, do we now realize how casually apathetic people are and how they throw away and inhumanely treat those with drug issues.
Comedy is a medium through which we can see people's trauma without being deeply affected by it, but it can also highlight the holes in our souls which unfortunately due to our laughter, we're also unaffected by. This was a dope interview.
Very well stated. 👏🏾
Holes in our souls. Yeah that part
The thing about dealing with addicts in your life is that you have to find that impossible balance between having compassion for them and keeping their toxicity out of your life so it doesn't bring YOU down with them. Addiction doesn't just affect the addict. It affects everyone in the addict's life. The line between support and enabling is so thin that it's hard to even see. ...not to mention that a lot of addicts become very abusive and start pushing people away - so even when you want to help, they won't let you.
...also, _a lot_ of us "realized how casually apathetic people are..." long before Friday ever came out. Lol Addiction has been a problem for most of human history.
This woman is an empath. She has a gentle soul. She feels deeply
It's sad that role stuck with her for the rest of career but she still looks good aging gracefully. It's a movie and reality some people can't separate the two.
When you are a method actor, you immerse yourself in the role and you treat it as if the character is a real person. Alot of the time the character may remind you of people you may actually know or have seen. Deep shit
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Facts even he regrets doing that role
Nia long is aging gracefully like wine 🍷
It may be a role...however how many "Felicias" do we know in real life that get mistreated and overlooked...I think that was her point.
I mean prayers to her but to say she’s aging gracefully cmon man🤦🏾♂️ don’t nobody want to be mean but we all see this lady bro, she look horrible! And we all know these actors be bat shit crazy but got talent so it’s overlooked 🤷🏾♂️
Wow this is totally a new take on Felicia. I never saw it from this perspective and now when I look at the movie it has a whole new meaning and I can see how messed up she was treated. I never realized how deep this goes. And what’s more crazy so that Felicia is a representation of those in real life in her shoes. Damn. Y’all the real unsung.
💯
Exactly. We all know a "Felicia" especially if you're from hood. Those struggling with Substance abuse are still people and alot of time we forget they have a story as well.
Bruh!🤯
Facts she made me cry watching this Lmaoooo it’s true Felicia was actually sweet she wanted to help Debo dusty ass lol I really liked her roll
Ppl treat crackheads like crackheads , your looks don’t get you treated better
You can tell she is a beautiful soul...the world can be so cruel 💔
“And I’m trying to help him “… she went down that rabbit hole of the character in that moment and so intensely. Wow
Just like a real crack head
On behalf of everyone that didn't know that the actor who played Felicia had a background of Felicia's story and was so emotional in this hype interview I stand behind her 30 years later the 90s were terrible the '90s many of our families were stuck on drugs many of our neighborhoods were violent please share with her that we stand behind her her emotions were heartbreaking
Some places are still a mess from then
Thanks for informing
So she’s a recovering addict? That’s amazing ! I’m so happy she made it through to the other side 🥰
This is a lie stop spreading false information. She was a funny comedian in the 90s
@@Berlindaverne Not talking about her specifically sped.
My Mother battled with addiction from the 80’s off and on til her last day . I never knew how much she went through as a child . The way Felicia was dismissed and almost invisible , that was the same my moms was treated . Wish people who have these problems get the help they deserve .
Same here with my mom! I feel you!
Rest in Peace to your beautiful mother, black brother 🙏🏿
@@cgabrielle83 if she passed away may she rest in Peace. If still alive may the Lord deliver her from the bondage of drug addiction.

🙏🏾❤️
I remember being a young girl watching the movie and feeling sorry for the character. I always saw the beauty in her.
The fact that this woman feels the pain of the performance and character speaks for its self. There is no way you can argue that. She put herself there and this was a role that holds cultural value. I applaud her performance and commitment to the role of Felicia.
Also probably why she never got any major roles... she got too caught up in being Felicia
Exactly what makes a great actor. She became the character and to do that, actors start internalizing the experience of the character. The brain can’t differentiate between the experiences of the character and the person playing the character. This happens because on some level, the experiences are real, even though they happen on a set, they happen. Some actors need intensive therapy after playing a traumatized character, to let go of those experiences and regain themselves.
Crazy how people forget she also was in house party 3 and drop dead gorgeous. Much respect given 👏
Sadly people don’t show much respect to movies like House party because it’s not as stereotypical as Friday… but she really plays amazing characters and I hate people were mean to her
Right. Pretty and funny
The gorgeous is gone
@@cellettar7243 SHE’S STILL BEAUTIFUL. STFU
@@cellettar7243 wow!! That was harsh and not true!! I can tell you’re a hurt human
It just goes to show you that people can get too emotionally caught up in a character where it can be scary. Felicia to me, could be your mother, aunt, sister or grandmother. Oi remember the crack era. The anger over the theft. But also the heartbreak that it's someone in your family or you knew who were once vibrant and ended up down that path to degree that they would submit themselves to anything for that drug
I don’t think Felicia was a crackhead I think she was just funky
@@a1ac953 actually the character was a crack head
@@a1ac953 I never disliked Felicia at all it was DEEBO who I couldn't f**n stand. That's why it was soooo satisfying when Cube cracked him over the head with that brick when they had that infamous fight.
@@a1ac953 all crackhead symptoms 🤷🏿♂️
@@a1ac953 Yeah Right! Did You See " FRIDAY " The Directors Cut?! So You Would've Let Her Barrow Your Microwave? ✌🤣
Angela's message is so profound!! I say this all the time! We are so quick to judge yet we know nothing about their story, nor do we take the time to ask!! Thank you for this message!!
Respect to y'all for bringing this character to light. I remember her as a stand up on Def Jam, I had no idea of her depth. She should be receiving residuals for that phrase.
Yes she should!
Well technically she’s not the one that said it….Ice Cube’s character said “bye Felicia” after she kept asking him for his microwave and VCR
One of the dangers of method acting when your character isn’t a main character. You get way more invested in their story than anyone else. They didn’t explore Felicia because she wasn’t the focus of the movie. You creating back stories and way more depth than can be explored without changing the story. This sister should have got the rights to Felicia, and explored all this in her own book.
Yo.....but I think she needs therapy writing a bio on a crackhead in a comedy movie....comedy movie...comedy movie she was in for 5 min....I could do that....hey put on dirty clothes and scratch lmao....it was Felicia
It’s crazy how after all of these years she is still deeply connected to the character. Not many actors have that devotion and dedication nowadays. She became her. I love it
Im sorry but that's not devotion. It's kind of delusional. Especially after almost 30 years 🤷
she's devoted to a stereotypical character from a 90s hood movie that is in turn causing her distress and emotional instability,
It wasn’t that big of a role. I think this ladies career never took of like she wanted. So she has a lot of resentment and this dude happened to give a soap box to someone who had a minimal role in a classic movie. She should be grateful to have been part of history. What she did with the opportunity is her own situation. All that extra crap she added about the character are things that most actors do to bring the character off of paper. 🤷🏿♂️. Not that big of a deal. And the crap about melanin and eating watermelon? Like WTF? 😂😂
@@c0nundrm ALL OF THIS!!! I was sitting here scratching my head wondering why she was getting so emotional over Felicia's role but at the same time I understand there are women like Felicia in real life who gets dismissed and written off as worthless crack heads. But in this particular instance I felt like that GIF where the guy had question marks floating around his head.
This woman really cares about people God bless her.
She played her role, had a solid acting career, money isn't everything but she made it. She landed a role a lot of women would've been happy to have. Props to her for doing what she did.
That would be dope if she did an actual movie on Felicia. Call it “By Felicia”. A play on words to the “Bye Felicia” that People are used to hearing or saying. People would flock to that movie thinking it’s a comedy but it end up being a thought provoking in depth movie.
Or. . . ."Why Felicia"
Sounds like you got some work to do w. Ms. Means
That would be dope
Cube and Poo could’ve spinned the Friday series in so many ways. All the characters took a life of their own
Make it about me
Angela still lives with the character and feels her pain 'til this day. She really invested in Felicia! Thank you for this interview! #BamaGirlInCali
You think that's a good thing
She should have let go and moved on from that character long ago. Why couldn't she?
She's a mental case ...it's not that dam serious
@@geegee637 she does give me those type of vibes tbh lol... I think it's more hard drug abuse.. Because she didn't age well either and she was very beautiful
@@christopherayettey4390 My mother is currrently 73 and I've could a sworn Angela Means was at least 20 years younger than my mother back in the 90's..They literally look about the samae age now.
The whole bye Felicia was a real thing. It stood for calling a woman thirsty or needy.
Wow. We really did overlook the humanity of Felicia. And we often do that in real life when people are in the grips of addiction. I think like they did “Bel Air” and made it a drama, they could do that with “Friday”
That'd be a great idea... I'd definitely watch it ✨
Felicia was sleeping with the neighborhood bully who was in and out of jail lol . also she was trying to leech off her friends
they'd make it woke friday
Real question: do we really need another black trauma movie.
My man.. I'm one of your fans.. Thanx for insight and you're right.. I think they should do a family matters drama too
She did AMAZING in this interview 💜 I can’t wait to see what God has in store for her next🤞🏽🙏🏽
Death
✔️
AMEN
Well, geesh... The way you say it can loosely be translated so much. So much... But I agree.
What? You think Gods gift was her playing a role as an abused druggy come on now read ya Bible
She should get more roles!! Damn!! I almost teared up thinking about Felicia's struggles.
Unfortunately she won’t get too many only small roles
Almost teared up? Then your just as off as she is about a small role on a comedy movie smh
Me too Bro. That shit touch me deep in my soul. I get where she's coming from
Wasn’t she on my cousin Skeeter 🤔
She married kid in the house party movie
Thank you Angela Means for speaking on Felicia's humanity. It uplifts all who are in torment with addiction.
I’m speechless, the fact she used not an ounce of profanity. I have a whole new appreciation for her and the character!!!! This is very eye opening.
I love how passionate she is about the character Felecia, she's a true actress. She's right, the character Felicia was disregarded. We mostly disregard people like Felecia. Makes me think about that whole "Bye Felicia" thing that everyone was saying a few years back. People still probably say it.
I can say that I treat everyone the same. There's a drug addict that hangs out at the store and has been for years. I treat her like anyone else. I buy her a soda, chips and give her a few dollars when she asks and if I'm able to. She's a sweet girl, just lost and alone. I also give her a few encouraging words but I never judge or mistreat her.
Lost and turned out!!! Olivia the slave
Love it!
That’s where bye Felicia came from
@@goudagrishhdoe8925
You misinterpreted what was said
I did something similar at the supermarket today. People were looking at me strangely as I had time to stop and talk with a drunk older women who was upset. She had fought in the army 30+ years ago and was clearly sufffering from PTSD.
To be fair, Felicia’s sister Debbie was hella protective over her. The mom allowed her to live at home, she was just in Vegas. We can assume she was also protective over her. Not everyone treated her that way.
How bout that
Before she went to Vegas where was Felicia living at?
This is very moving. It shows how seriously Angela Means takes her craft as an actor. She brought Felicia to life with compassion and hard work, and the character still lives with her. Respect
Felicia was iconic. She wasn't even a messy or super trifling drug addict. It's everyday life though. That's how we treat our drug addicted friends and family members. Her role was significant though. Brandy looked out for her as best she could.
Bro she was a crack head just stop it I cant stand u 🤡 clowns trying to make it seem like it was a deep role cut it out
That’s because if you don’t, and you entertain their BS, many of them will rob you blind and suck the LIFE RIGHT OUTTA YOU. SO to stop that, don’t even entertain their SH#T from the START. And so many families have been burnt by “To-do-good” crackheads that that’s is exactly what they’ll get when they come begging again!! “BYEEEEE! BYE FELICIA/WHOEVER!!”
She was kinda trifling after laying beside Deeboo and that shit stained underwear
She is the 1 of the finest women tht played in friday periodt...
Her and Halle Berry can pull it by still being cute while playing a certain role
I was not expecting this deep emotional response. Hopefully she realizes we all adored her brief role she brought to the screen in a comedic way. One thing about Black pain/struggle we’re going to find the funny regardless. That being said, I appreciate her insight that we have to understand Black women pain is often overlooked and goes unnoticed. Sigh…sending healing to all of us with broken hearts 💔 love and light ✨
First of all she's not black she's mixed.. And second of all we all mostly remember her from House Party...
@@blast4me754 First of all if you have even a drop of black blood in you you’re considered Black in this world and second EVERYBODY remembers her from Friday and third you need to go back to bed and wake up on the right side. Your response sounds a bit snippy for no reason.
@@cflournoy1529 Now you want to follow the rules of masa again.. One minute black folks are hating on lightskins and mixed people and then next minute you're using mixed/light skin people again. She's scientifically half and half no matter what your master says..
@@blast4me754 who asked u?
@@k.e.5886 Mixed people today are not claiming black anymore because it's stupid to..
My God! She is a true actor. She still feels the emotions of a created character. She's a great actress that must guard herself against becoming lost in her characters. Amazing. Decades later and she still feels the emotions and injustices Felicia suffered.
You know you've reached the pinnacle of acting when the world treats you like the character you've played. I couldn't imagine being that for nearly 30 years. This is suffering from success
Felicia was absolutely stunning to be honest, even strung out she was naturally beautiful. I always said Felicia would have been the baddest chick in the movie if her life was different.
Facts
She was in house party 3
Felicia is still bad now 😭😭😭
Real talk 💯!!
Thats real life too. So many beautiful people taken by...circumstances
I've always wondered about Felicia. I saw her exactly the way that you saw- she didn't know how to shuffle the cards that life dealt her but she was kind and beautiful. It would be nice to see another Friday.... Possibly named "Another Friday"- with Felicia thriving in life. Thank you Angela.
Another Friday. I love it 😀
U think the Felicia character was kind ????? I mean I ain't like how people was bullying her cause she was off/slow ( ice cube pushing her head, smoky snapping on her) but she was annoying AF n begging all da fuckin time, but yeah I guess she wasn't a bad person , but she wasn't Mary Poppins either
@@datboycotvdotcom9593 Yes. I do think Felicia is kind. She endured a lot of stuff that mean people wouldn't put up with. She did all that begging for her bully ass boyfriend so that he wouldn't steal it from whomever she was begging from. She sacrificed herself and got her ass beat for other people.Now that's kind.
@@ericacarriere8648 she was definitely special needs/slo .... So was her character a drug head or wat?
Whew 🥲 my goodness she tugged on my heart strings! As an actress this is what we strive for 🙏🏽 that raw emotion that merges us into the character 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I'll never watch Friday the same.
K song know though...at what cost? She seems to be living some of the feeling IRL it seems like there’s a risk of getting *too* submerged in a role. Does it happen??
Felicia was a reflection of a lot women today(unprotected, dismissed, unloved but loves and stands up for everyone else)
How was Felicia unprotected and how was she unloved? Didn't her sister drag her out the house and threatened to kick Deebo's ass for hitting her? That sounds like love to me.
@@DavidKen878 hey yeah thats true. Thanks David
Her backstory is so profound. Thank you so much for bringing Felicia to life on and off of the screen 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
As someone who has trained to be an actress I can definitely respect the time and effort she took into developing Felicia’s bio. Felicia is an iconic character that has transcended the Friday movie into pop culture as a whole, with even people who have never seen the movie knowing the whole “bye Felicia” thing. So her work was not in vain and she can use this platform to now speak about important issues so definitely not in vain
Really? I thought everybody loved Felicia but its weird because as the years went on I think more about her in House Party 3 then Friday mainly because she's was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD in House Party 3
Bad in a good way or terrible way? lol
I agree. Her in House Party 3 & on Def Comedy Jam…MAN!!
She was in house party 3
Yup big facts
@@darnellmajor8895 very very good way. She looked like a bacon egg and cheese sandwich good LAWD
Wow. She really gave this character life. I appreciate the insight to the character because these were never questions I came up with as I just watched the film as a “comedy film.” I now see that it reflects so much more that I as a viewer did not fathom of the time.
She just developed the HELL out of those characters, characters I have been acquainted with and THOUGHT I knew for almost 30 years. I will never watch this movie the same way ever again. Wow. This was awesome.
Wow didn’t know she received that much backlash for that role. Like besides Smokey her character and Debo were the most notable ones 😕

This is so heart moving. I remember a black girl came into my job, looked liked a teen maybe barely 22. She was very dirty and had peed on herself and asked for pants. I bought her some leggings and my counter manager who was non black was so mad. I had the audacity to say maybe she’s feeling sorry for herself. I think maybe I thought she would go easier on her but I don’t recall her doing that. We both were so open about how Christian we were.
Some of the most worse people I ever met claimed to be Christian. Its a lie
@@AbiyahbenJudah Hi. I had to add my thoughts on your reply. I too was turned off by hypocritical judgemental so called Christians. The truth of the matter is that we are a humans and all sinners. God wants us to humble ourselves and ask Him to help fix our character defects. Some aren't even aware that they're being hypocritical sadly. I don't adhere to organized religion. I just say I am a saved woman of God. But trust me I had to go through many years of bad living to even ask God to save me. What I'm sayingis don't let hypocritical people mess with your relationship with God.
@@michelletelem730 Michelle my relationship with THE MOST HIGH has been growing at outstanding levels ever since I learned about these so called hypocritical Christians & the heritic teachings of Christianity. The truth is that Chritianity breeds people as such, who don't really believe the bible and who don't adhere to The Fathers commandments preaching faith alone can save when the bible clearly states that faith without works is dead, I.e antinomianism.

As a fellow actor, she definitely did her homework! I am so glad I came across this gem! Regular folks think that acting is just pretend and you get your script and just “do it”.. nooo you have to take the time to really learn your character and everything that is written in the script may not fully explain who you are playing… the best actors are those that make it real ❤️☮️
Angela is such a beautiful and empathetic person. That’s why she was so successful at acting. She deserves more respect outchea. Thank you for this interview.

me cry real tears. The movie will ALWAYS be a cult classic. For laughs for most, but her breakdown is just soooooooo.....Real!

She played this character very well. She was still beautiful because we all had a family member or knew someone back in the day who was a "Felicia". Very sad people treated her as her real character in real life. 😢
I met her back in 2019 at her food truck, she is such a sweet heart and a great cook 💜
She aged so well. Sad to hear that people are calling her out of her name
She wasn't in a lot of scenes but she made the most of what time she had " Felicia" is a legendary character thanks to her great portrayal.
She's a great actress for her role on House Party and Friday I wish I seen her on TV now .. We miss you 💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰
