The most-discussed woman of 2015 is Taraji P. Henson and “Empire” is the reason. Her breakout role is Cookie Lyon and this is the woman everyone is talking about. Both her dominating personality and her shapely booty have the people talking.
Taraji P. Henson is mostly known for her film roles and she has never done a prominent television role. With her first foray into television, she has won big. Before this, Taraji auditioned for another role that went on to be a big win.
During an interview with People magazine, Taraji P. Henson spoke on something she pursued before “Empire” was on the horizon. Before Cookie Lyon, Olivia Pope was easily the most-discussed woman in television. It turns out, Taraji P. Henson originally auditioned for this role, before she became the most powerful woman in hip hop as the first lady of Empire Entertainment.
