Don't Expect to See A Movie Where Queen Latifah's Character Dies Anytime Soon - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Earlier in her movie career Queen Latifah's characters kept getting killed off like in "Set It Off" and "Sphere." She soon realized that if one of her projects becomes a big success she would want to return for the sequel, which means that she must survive the first film.

To stop directors from killing her off, she added a no-death clause in her movie contracts. She said: "It occurred to me, 'Wait a minute, you can't do the sequel if you die in all these movies.' I was like, 'Randy - my agent - no more dying, OK.'"

Since then she has appeared in mostly comedies and musicals, where the chances of dying are slim. But I guess it has worked... She has already starred in two "Ice Age" movies and is set to return for "Hairspray 2."

I like Queen Latifah, she's smart for having that in her contract it paid off for her.
