Fantastic Femmes--Women of FlashForward

Gina Torres

Gabrielle Union

Lynn Whitfield

After last night's ep with both Gina Torres and Gabrielle Union, I couldn't resist the urge to do a page with all the Fantastic Femmes who've appeared on the series so far, along with links to their previous Atomic Kommie Comics™ blog entries!
You'll note we updated their entries to include the FlashForward credits. We'll be doing that for any Fantastic Femmes in the future (as we did with Ming-Na to reflect her role on the new StarGate Universe).

It appears all three actresses will be doing multiple guest appearances!
Now if only they'd do a scene together...

Fantastic Femmes--Lynn Whitfield

Best known for her Emmy-winning portrayal of the legendary Josephine Baker, Lynn's done a little of everything, from big-budget blockbusters to b-movies, from classic literature adaptations to genre, always giving the role everything she's got, never simply "phoning it in" for a quick paycheck!
She's always fun to watch...
