Coming 2 America
Coming To America was the
Black Panther of its time. The blockbuster starring Eddie Murphy as an African prince hiding in Queens fell just behind
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in the competition for 1988’s box office crown. That was unheard for a movie with almost no white people. Murphy and his costar Arsenio Hall recently revealed that the only white person (Louise Anderson) in the otherwise all-Black cast was imposed upon them by Paramount Studios.
