Lifetime moviesare a guilty pleasure for a whole host of people all over the world.
Seeing well-known actors take on the most melodramatic, nail-biting tales is hugely entertaining.
That brings us toTaraji P. Henson, the queen of versatility.

She was an absolute stunner as Cookie, the wildcard of “Empire.”
And who could forget her role as the iconic mathematician Katherine Johnson, in “Hidden Figures?”
But it may surprise you to learn she once appeared in a Lifetime movie.

In fact, her ex-boyfriend took their child and fled the country (viaLifetime.)
“Henson’s relationship with her son, Marcell Johnson, is incredibly strong.
She did not.”

Henson added, “She didn’t become a victim.
She became proactive.”
