Ms. Weiss – Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is known for wearing a lot of glitters and long, flowing hair. She abandoned her usual glitz to star in the 2009 drama Precious, though. Mimi portrayed Ms. Weiss, the social worker assigned to Gabourey Sidibe’s Precious in the film.
Ironically, Helen Mirren was initially cast to play the role. However, she chose a more prominent part elsewhere. Before directing this film, Lee Daniels had worked with Mariah and was “truly blown away” by her performance that he hired her for the minimalistic part.
