Theresa Randle

Randle next played a savvy reporter in the comedy "CB4" (1993) and had her first co-starring role (opposite Wesley Snipes) in the dark drama "Sugar Hill." On the lighter side, she romanced Eddie Murphy in the action comedy "Beverly Hills Cop III" (both 1994). After appearing in a prominent role opposite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as a hooker in 1995's mega-hit "Bad Boys," Randle had her first starring role as an out-of-work actress caught up in the seductively dark world of phone sex in director Spike Lee's "Girl 6" (1996). She played basketball icon Michael Jordan's wife Juanita in the manic but barely amusing "Space Jam" (1996) co-starring the Looney Tunes stable of cartoon characters, and then played Wanda Blake, the unsuspecting wife of a dead man (Michael Jai White) resurrected as the disfugured, demonicly powered superhero "Spawn" (1997) in the big screen adaptation of the Todd McFarlane comic book. After a lengthy three-year absence from acting, Randle returned to strong reviews playing famed singer Natalie Cole in the revealing television biopic "Livin' for Love: The Natalie Cole Story" (2000), directed by Robert Townsend. Another three years would pass before Randle would again grace the big screen, this time reprising her role in the sequel "Bad Boys II" (2003).
