Stacey Dash Wants To Run for President
Stacey Dash played Dionne Marie Davenport in the cult classic Clueless, where she starred opposite Alicia Silverstone. It was a hit back in 1995, so it looked like Stacey had a big future in Hollywood ahead of her. She went on to appear in TV shows like CSI and Single Ladies, but her career never took off how she wanted it to. But it’s pretty clear why filmmakers won’t hire her – she’s politically outspoken and even has plans to run for president.
She told People: “I’ve been blacklisted in Hollywood. My agency dropped me because of my politics. They told me that when they pitched me, casting directors would say, ‘We give you credit for pitching her with a straight face.’ It makes me so angry.” She added, “Republicans in Hollywood hide. I’m challenging them to stand up and have courage. I won’t be scared into submission.”
