<p>ILOSM family, in case y&#8217;all haven&#8217;t heard&#8230;Queen Latifah has taken on one of her favorite roles yet: being a mother to her son. In recent years, the Queen&#8217;s been loving her journey to motherhood, as well as discussing her desire to start a family, and why she chooses to keep her son away from the spotlight.</p>
<h2>A Desire for Family</h2>
<p>While Latifah is known for keeping her personal life on the low, she had previously openly expressed her desire to start a family. In a 2016 interview, she shared her readiness to become a mother and hinted at the possibility of a future with a little one:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think I’m ready&#8230; You’ll see when I’m lugging the baby on the hip that there is actually a youngin’ around here.&#8221; &#8211; Queen Latifah</p></blockquote>
<p>For Latifah, the timing had to be right. She acknowledged that she&#8217;s a &#8216;late bloomer&#8217; in some aspects of her life, and wanted to ensure that she had taken care of everything before taking on the role of motherhood.</p>
<h2>A Lifelong Dream Fulfilled</h2>
<figure style="width: 395px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2b/89/7f/2b897fecf90e1588aef48c4c047f62fc.jpg" width="395" height="423" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Queen Latifah and son, Rebel (seated on Latifah&#8217;s partner Eboni Nichols&#8217; lap), attend Harlem Globetrotters game; 2023</figcaption></figure>
<p>Queen Latifah&#8217;s dreams of becoming a mother finally came true when she and her life partner &#8212; choreographer, Eboni Nichols &#8212; welcomed their now 4-year-old son, Rebel, into the world in 2019. Eboni reportedly carried their child during pregnancy. The birth of 53-year-old Queen&#8217;s first child marked a significant milestone in her life, and she confessed she wanted to have a big family, bracing motherhood wholeheartedly:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I’ve always envisioned myself with a big family&#8230; I kind of needed to grow and mature and get everything kind of taken care of with everything before I was able to really deal with it.&#8221; &#8211; Queen Latifah</p></blockquote>
<h2>A Natural at Being a Mom</h2>
<figure style="width: 434px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/90/b6/18/90b618d6e114a34bbe368ad414a7fc3a.jpg" width="434" height="700" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Queen Latifah with her life partner, Eboni Nichols</figcaption></figure>
<p>Before becoming a mother to her little mini-me, Latifah had plenty of practice in the parenting department. She shared a heartwarming story of helping two women with babies at the airport, showcasing her natural nurturing instincts. It was a glimpse into the kind of mother she would become.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I mean I think I’m a natural at this thing.&#8221; &#8211; Queen Latifah</p></blockquote>
<h2>Keeping Her Son&#8217;s Life Private</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/aa/31/b1/aa31b1a1dfb484e805f0a1a66bab24c4.jpg" width="564" height="564" /></p>
<p>Queen Latifah values keeping her son away from the spotlight, allowing him to have a quiet and normal childhood. In a world where celebrity children are often thrust into the public eye, Latifah&#8217;s decision to shield her son from the spotlight is a deliberate and thoughtful choice. But she and Eboni decided to take their lil&#8217; man out for a Harlem Globetrotters game in 2023, where they sat courtside, and from the looks of it he had a blast.</p>
<h2>A Proud Mom&#8217;s Shout-Out</h2>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jYRVz5TK2SI?si=U6uYTWSZKMgtyRjf" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>When Queen Latifah received the BET Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, she took the opportunity to honor her son. In her acceptance speech, she gave him a sweet shout-out, marking the first public mention of him since becoming a mother. Latifah&#8217;s love for her son was evident in her words, and it was a momentous occasion for both her career and her role as a mother.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love&#8230; Happy Pride.&#8221; &#8211; Queen Latifah</p></blockquote>
<h2>A Caregiver&#8217;s Love</h2>
<figure style="width: 563px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/bd/59/c0/bd59c0063bf748f6300fd84a2473d5b2.jpg" width="563" height="846" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Queen Latifah with her mother, Rita Owens</figcaption></figure>
<p>Prior to welcoming her first child, Latifah had already stepped into a caregiver role, taking care of her mom, Rita Owens, after she was diagnosed with a heart condition in 2005. She spoke about the similarities between being a caregiver and being a parent, highlighting the importance of family and the moments that truly matter:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As a caregiver — it’s just like being a parent, like some things really don’t matter&#8230; And when we go through these things together as a family, I realize, these are the important things, these are the important moments.&#8221; &#8211; Queen Latifah</p></blockquote>
<p>Sadly, shortly before Queen became a mother, she experienced the heartbreaking loss of her mother. Rita had been battling the autoimmune disease, scleroderma, and her passing left a void in Latifah&#8217;s life. She spoke fondly of her mother&#8217;s love and support, highlighting the impact her mother had on her life.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Anyone that has ever met her knows what a bright light she was on this earth&#8230; She was always an encouragement&#8230; She believed in us as youngsters.&#8221; &#8211; Queen Latifah</p></blockquote>
<h2>Through It All&#8230;</h2>
<p>Queen Latifah&#8217;s journey to motherhood has been filled with love, loss, and the joy of fulfilling a lifelong dream. Through it all, Latifah&#8217;s love for her son shines brightly, and her journey as a mother continues to unfold with grace and strength.</p>

<hr />
<figure style="width: 563px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/b3/0a/c4/b30ac4064e893aca2774e1208578fa2e.jpg" width="563" height="293" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">&#8220;Cleo&#8221; (Queen Latifah) and the &#8216;muted girlfriend&#8217; in &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; film</figcaption></figure>
<p>None of us knew this actress&#8217; name, but anyone who has seen <em>Set It Off</em> remembers her face. Her name is Samantha and she played the role of &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; (Queen Latifah) mute girlfriend, &#8220;Ursula,&#8221; in the &#8217;96 film. All she did was kiss Queen Latifah and never talked. Remember how Queen Latifah had everyone talking when her &#8220;Eve&#8221; look-alike girlfriend was giving her a sexy lap dance/tease after &#8220;Cleo&#8221; and her girls robbed the bank? &#8220;Cleo&#8221; had tricked out her car and bought &#8220;Ursula&#8221; some new lingerie and after their convincing romance, the questions started circulating about Latifah&#8217;s sexuality and the &#8220;Ursula&#8221; actress&#8217; whereabouts (since no one had pretty much seen her since).</p>
<p>After watching<em> Set It Off</em> again recently for what seems like my 100th time (okay, not really 100 times&#8230;but the number’s high up there), we decided to do a lil&#8217; bit of research on Samantha. What we found out was that all these years have gone by and we never knew that this well known actress from the ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond, is her mother. If you&#8217;ve watched you&#8217;re an avid <em>Good Times</em> or <em>Star Trek</em> fan, you probably remember her mother&#8217;s roles well.</p>
<h1>Who&#8217;s The &#8216;Muted Girlfriend&#8217;s&#8217; Mother In Real Life?</h1>
<figure style="width: 278px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/94/31/99/9431998f9109d2337582462eafce4fde.jpg" width="278" height="305" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Janet MacLachlan</figcaption></figure>
<p>The &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; mute&#8217;s mother is none other than Janet MacLachlan. Remember her? She was the actress who appeared on the &#8220;Florida Gets a Job&#8221; episode of <em>Good Times</em> when Gary Coleman snatched her wig off of her head and she yelled, <em>&#8220;Oh! I&#8217;ve never been so embarrassed in my life?!!&#8221;</em> That scene was CLASSIC and who would have ever thought that her lil&#8217; girl would end up being &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; girlfriend some twenty plus years later?!!</p>
<p>Check out Janet&#8217;s and Gary Coleman&#8217;s infamous <em>Good Times</em> scene below&#8230;</p>
<p><center><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BT99petoPk8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center>You may also remember Janet from her more popular roles in and episode of <em>Star Trek </em>as &#8220;Lt. Charlene Masters,&#8221; where she was one of the first African American actresses to appear on that series at that time. She was also one of the first Black actresses to rock an afro on a TV show in the ‘60s.</p>
<p>Janet also starred in several other roles, such as an episode of the series, <em>I Spy</em>, where she appeared alongside Bill Cosby as one of the prettiest double agents we&#8217;d ever seen. She was on the <em>Alfred Hitchcock Hour</em> show, <em>Barney Miller</em>, <em>The Six Million Dollar Man</em>, <em>The Monkey&#8217;s Paw</em>, <em>The Invaders</em>, <em>The</em> <em>FBI</em>, <em>Ironside</em>, <em>The Mod Squad</em>, <em>The Name of the Game, The Sounder, Murphy&#8217;s Law, the Boy Who Could Fly</em>, and several other films and TV shows throughout her 50+ year career.</p>

<p>Samantha MacLachlan is Janet&#8217;s only daughter and there was not been any mention of who her father is.</p>
<p>Sadly, Janet passed away at the age of 77 in 2010 from complications due to a cardiovascular disease. She was living in Los Angeles at the time of her death.</p>
<figure style="width: 535px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/32/b4/ea/32b4ea153801225e3386dc7521b41c46.jpg" width="535" height="433" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Samantha MacLachlan, the actress who played &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; (Queen Latifah) girlfriend, &#8220;Ursula,&#8221; in &#8220;Set It Off&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>As far as Samantha, she is now 50 years old and we&#8217;re not sure what she&#8217;s up to nowadays. After starring in a few more projects such as television series <em>Once and Again</em>, <em>NYPD Blue</em>, <em>JAG</em>, the films, <em>Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story</em> (1996) and <em>Tear It Down</em> (1997) and of course <em>Set It Off</em>, she pretty much retreated from the spotlight and lives a quiet non-celebrity type of life. But she&#8217;ll never be able to hide the fact that she was the woman who played the lesbian mute girlfriend of Queen Latifah in <em>Set It Off, </em>nor should she want to &#8211; her role added a great dynamic to that ‘90s cult classic. It&#8217;s understandable why she was so convincing with her Ursula role now, acting is in her blood and her beloved mother, Janet MacLachlan, did an excellent job passing the torch to her daughter.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure style="width: 564px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f2/cb/4a/f2cb4a7acf38c2f888a8680063d49249.jpg" width="564" height="252" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Queen Latifah; Queen as &#8220;Cleo&#8221; in &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; film</figcaption></figure>
<p>Most of us remember when rapper/actress, Queen Latifah, played the hell outta her &#8220;Cleo&#8221; character in <em>Set It Off</em>. The way her lesbian character busted her guns during the bank robberies and kissed her mute girlfriend, was one of the most convincing roles in movie history. In fact, it was almost a lil&#8217; <em>too</em> convincing and kicked off what would become a never-ending rumor mill of real-life lesbian allegations for Queen.</p>
<p>Although Latifah has never confirmed, nor denied, the homosexual rumors (nor the several seemingly affectionate photos of herself in public with females at times), many would argue that Latifah confirming she&#8217;s a lesbian would be about as &#8220;shocking&#8221; as Kim Kardashian &#8216;confirming&#8217; she likes Black dudes with money &#8212; an allegation Kim&#8217;s never denied nor confirmed either. But I digress&#8230;</p>
<p>Point is! Queen Latifah had a problem playing her &#8220;Cleo&#8221; role, and here&#8217;s what she revealed about that in a prior  interview.</p>
<p><a id='ViQFnV3iR7NiVK9Zz7FVSQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/461428879' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;'>Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ViQFnV3iR7NiVK9Zz7FVSQ',sig:'MhQ2G92Zx88uMAXk3JghaI1bySTRP5h0K1kSaSlOgg4=',w:'395px',h:'594px',items:'461428879',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script></p>
<p>Although many of us enjoyed watching Queen Latifah kill it with her Cleo role (even the way Latifah &#8220;died&#8221; as &#8220;Cleo&#8221; in the film was profound), what we didn&#8217;t know at that time, was that it was the toughest role for her to portray, according to what Latifah revealed to actress, Tracy Ellis Ross, who interviewed her for <a href="http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/queen-latifah-tracee-ellis-ross-interview">In Style</a> magazine:</p>
<blockquote><p>TER: Were there any career decisions that were particularly hard to make?</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Queen Latifah: When I got the role of amateur bank robber Cleo Sims in Set It Off, I sat down with my younger siblings and told them, “Listen, I’m playing a gay character. Your classmates might tease you or say negative things about it. But I’m doing it because I believe I can bring positive attention to the gay African-American community, and I believe that I can do a great job as an actor.” They understood, and when those things inevitably happened in school, they were OK with it.</p></blockquote>
<p>So as you can see, the role wasn&#8217;t tough for Latifah because it was a lesbian role&#8230;it was tough because she was worried about affecting her family with it. This again, will probably drive those rumor mills into overdrive, yet again. I can just see it now: &#8216;Latifah is comfortable with lesbian Cleo character because she <em>IS</em> &#8220;Cleo&#8221;&#8216;&#8230;</p>
<p>Quite frankly, we, here at I Love Old School Music, love Latifah &#8211; lesbian, straight, bi, or try-sexual (<a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/tevin-campbell-admitted-hes-try-sexual-where-has-he-been-2/">a word we learned from Tevin Campbell&#8217;s intervie</a>w). She has, and always will be, one of the <em>most</em> versatile actresses in the game. And to witness how far she&#8217;s come with her multi-talented career &#8211; ever since her 1989 &#8220;Ladies First&#8221; days &#8211; deserves a round of applause! The only problem I have in all of this, is that in my opinion, Latifah is just as gifted as her fellow rapper-turned-actor, Will Smith, but she has yet to earn $20 million-per-movie acting gigs&#8230;that&#8217;s the <em>real</em> controversy&#8230;not whether, or not she&#8217;s a lesbian&#8230;just saying. &#x1f937;&#x1f3fd;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f;</p>
<p><center></center>Keep doing your thing Queen, you&#8217;re inspiring many!</p>

<p>None of us knew this actress&#8217; name, but anyone who has seen <em>Set It Off</em> remembers her face. Her name is Samantha and she played the role of &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; (Queen Latifah) mute girlfriend, &#8220;Ursula,&#8221; in the &#8217;96 film. All she did was kiss Queen Latifah and never talked. Remember how Queen Latifah had everyone talking when her &#8220;Eve&#8221; look-alike girlfriend was giving her a sexy lap dance/tease after &#8220;Cleo&#8221; and her girls robbed the bank? &#8220;Cleo&#8221; had tricked out her car and bought &#8220;Ursula&#8221; some new lingerie and after their convincing romance, the questions started circulating about Latifah&#8217;s sexuality and the &#8220;Ursula&#8221; actress&#8217; whereabouts (since no one had pretty much seen her since).</p>
<p>After watching<em> Set It Off</em> again recently for what seems like my 100th time (okay, not really 100 times&#8230;but the number’s high up there), we decided to do a lil&#8217; bit of research on Samantha. What we found out was that all these years have gone by and we never knew that this well known actress from the ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond, is her mother. If you&#8217;ve watched you&#8217;re an avid <em>Good Times</em> or <em>Star Trek</em> fan, you probably remember her mother&#8217;s roles well.</p>
<h1>Who&#8217;s The &#8216;Muted Girlfriend&#8217;s&#8217; Mother In Real Life?</h1>
<figure style="width: 278px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/94/31/99/9431998f9109d2337582462eafce4fde.jpg" width="278" height="305" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Janet MacLachlan</figcaption></figure>
<p>The &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; mute&#8217;s mother is none other than Janet MacLachlan. Remember her? She was the actress who appeared on the &#8220;Florida Gets a Job&#8221; episode of <em>Good Times</em> when Gary Coleman snatched her wig off of her head and she yelled, <em>&#8220;Oh! I&#8217;ve never been so embarrassed in my life?!!&#8221;</em> That scene was CLASSIC and who would have ever thought that her lil&#8217; girl would end up being &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; girlfriend some twenty plus years later?!!</p>
<p>Check out Janet&#8217;s and Gary Coleman&#8217;s infamous <em>Good Times</em> scene below&#8230;</p>
<p><center><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BT99petoPk8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center>You may also remember Janet from her more popular roles in and episode of <em>Star Trek </em>as &#8220;Lt. Charlene Masters,&#8221; where she was one of the first African American actresses to appear on that series at that time. She was also one of the first Black actresses to rock an afro on a TV show in the ‘60s.</p>
<p>Janet also starred in several other roles, such as an episode of the series, <em>I Spy</em>, where she appeared alongside Bill Cosby as one of the prettiest double agents we&#8217;d ever seen. She was on the <em>Alfred Hitchcock Hour</em> show, <em>Barney Miller</em>, <em>The Six Million Dollar Man</em>, <em>The Monkey&#8217;s Paw</em>, <em>The Invaders</em>, <em>The</em> <em>FBI</em>, <em>Ironside</em>, <em>The Mod Squad</em>, <em>The Name of the Game, The Sounder, Murphy&#8217;s Law, the Boy Who Could Fly</em>, and several other films and TV shows throughout her 50+ year career.</p>

<p>Samantha MacLachlan is Janet&#8217;s only daughter and there was not been any mention of who her father is.</p>
<p>Sadly, Janet passed away at the age of 77 in 2010 from complications due to a cardiovascular disease. She was living in Los Angeles at the time of her death.</p>
<figure style="width: 535px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/32/b4/ea/32b4ea153801225e3386dc7521b41c46.jpg" width="535" height="433" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Samantha MacLachlan, the actress who played &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; (Queen Latifah) girlfriend, &#8220;Ursula,&#8221; in &#8220;Set It Off&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>As far as Samantha, she is now 50 years old and we&#8217;re not sure what she&#8217;s up to nowadays. After starring in a few more projects such as television series <em>Once and Again</em>, <em>NYPD Blue</em>, <em>JAG</em>, the films, <em>Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story</em> (1996) and <em>Tear It Down</em> (1997) and of course <em>Set It Off</em>, she pretty much retreated from the spotlight and lives a quiet non-celebrity type of life. But she&#8217;ll never be able to hide the fact that she was the woman who played the lesbian mute girlfriend of Queen Latifah in <em>Set It Off, </em>nor should she want to &#8211; her role added a great dynamic to that ‘90s cult classic. It&#8217;s understandable why she was so convincing with her Ursula role now, acting is in her blood and her beloved mother, Janet MacLachlan, did an excellent job passing the torch to her daughter.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure style="width: 563px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/59/61/6f/59616fd8019e39cd7e32b15cd1ef31fd.jpg" width="563" height="293" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">(L) Queen Latifah; (inset photo) Queen on set of &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; film</figcaption></figure>
<p>When rap legend/<em>Set It Off</em> OG, Queen Latifah, first stepped onto the scene in the 1989 with her anthem, &#8220;Ladies First,&#8221; she quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the hip hop game&#8230;dominating on the mic, inside of a male dominated sport.</p>
<p>Another attribute of the Queen, is that it was no secret she was never the most &#8216;girly-girl&#8217; of public figures. She was more like one of the homies; and though she&#8217;s never publicly stated she is a lesbian, nor bisexual, she&#8217;s been publicly photographed cuddled up with women. That&#8217;s why fans were shocked after seeing what she once said about her choice in men.</p>
<p>As truth diggers, here at ILOSM, we did a lil&#8217; diggin&#8217; and unearthed a &#8217;90s Vibe Magazine article, in which Latifah shared what she wanted in a man. Check out the excerpts below.</p>
<h2>First Came Queen Latifah&#8217;s Revelations&#8230;</h2>
<p><iframe title="Queen Latifah - Ladies First (feat. Monie Love) [Music Video]" width="858" height="644" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Qimg_q7LbQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In the Dec. 1993/Jan. 1994 Vibe article, interviewer, Stefane Sadnaoui, noted that Latifah wanted to discuss her &#8216;much-overlooked femininity and her &#8220;delicate, sensitive&#8221; side.&#8217; In doing so, the U-N-I-T-Y raptress touched on the topic of men, babies, her Mother, and her Pops:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been wanting to have a baby since I was 17,&#8221; Latifah says. &#8220;I wanted to do it early like my mother did, so that I could be cool and just have fun and be young enough to swing with the kids and have the energy for &#8217;em like my moms and pops did for us. Just recently I made the decision that I wanted a husband, because I know I&#8217;m not gonna be able to swing that pregnancy alone: Soon as i get morning sickness I&#8217;m gonna become a b*tch and somebody&#8217;s gotta share it with me. And I want them to grown up with a father. I didn&#8217;t.&#8221; -via Vibe</p></blockquote>
<h2>Peep What Queen Latifah Said About Being With Men Sexually</h2>
<figure style="width: 470px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1c/d5/0f/1cd50fa4b8300377cac2b48865add6a3.jpg" width="470" height="939" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Queen Latifah</figcaption></figure>
<p>Latifah on the type of man she would like and what she wanted him to do to her:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Personally I&#8217;d like a real dark guy, with beautiful, smooth, shiny chocolate skin, with a nice body,&#8221; [Latifah] says. &#8220;I need a big guy &#8216;cuz I&#8217;m a big girl and they gotta be able to swing me around and sh*t, carry me around the house. I&#8217;ve been with all kinds of guys- never a white guy, though.&#8221; Would she ever? &#8220;I doubt it. I might hang out with &#8217;em, but I don&#8217;t think I would sleep with &#8217;em. I just feel like there&#8217;s so many beautiful Black men out there, i don&#8217;t really need to. But I have met White guys that have been so cool and so down that it made me think about it, because they just weren&#8217;t on that macho sh*t that winds up getting half of our brothers killed.&#8221; &#8211; via Vibe</p></blockquote>
<p>Ever had a moment when you thought you knew a person, only to realize that your presumptions were possibly wrong? Yeah&#8230;after reading this, I know that feeling too.</p>
<p>A lot can change throughout the years, so it&#8217;s uncertain if Latifah still wants a &#8216;husband&#8217; to &#8220;swing&#8221; her around. But regardless, we here at ILOSM, couldn&#8217;t care less if a person is straight, gay, lesbian, bi, or try-sexual. We instead choose to simply judge one on the content of their character as a human being and thus far, Latifah&#8217;s character has proven to be applause-worthy. By the way, be sure to check her out in CBS&#8217; action series, <em>The Equalizer</em>. Keep doing your thang Queen!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure style="width: 563px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/b3/0a/c4/b30ac4064e893aca2774e1208578fa2e.jpg" width="563" height="293" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">&#8220;Cleo&#8221; (Queen Latifah) and the &#8216;muted girlfriend&#8217; in &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; film</figcaption></figure>
<p>None of us knew this actress&#8217; name, but anyone who has seen <em>Set It Off</em> remembers her face. Her name is Samantha and she played the role of &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; (Queen Latifah) mute girlfriend, &#8220;Ursula,&#8221; in the &#8217;96 film. All she did was kiss Queen Latifah and never talked. Remember how Queen Latifah had everyone talking when her &#8220;Eve&#8221; look-alike girlfriend was giving her a sexy lap dance/tease after &#8220;Cleo&#8221; and her girls robbed the bank? &#8220;Cleo&#8221; had tricked out her car and bought &#8220;Ursula&#8221; some new lingerie and after their convincing romance, the questions started circulating about Latifah&#8217;s sexuality and the &#8220;Ursula&#8221; actress&#8217; whereabouts (since no one had pretty much seen her since).</p>
<p>After watching<em> Set It Off</em> again last night for what seems like my 100th time (not really 100, but I&#8217;ve seen it a lot), we decided to do a lil&#8217; bit of research on Samantha. What we found out was that all these years have gone by and we never knew that this well known actress from the 60&#8217;s, 70&#8217;s and beyond, is her mother. If you&#8217;ve watched you&#8217;re an avid <em>Good Times</em> or <em>Star Trek</em> fan, you probably remember her mother&#8217;s roles well.</p>
<h1>Who&#8217;s The &#8216;Muted Girlfriend&#8217;s&#8217; Mother In Real Life?</h1>
<figure style="width: 278px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/94/31/99/9431998f9109d2337582462eafce4fde.jpg" width="278" height="305" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Janet MacLachlan</figcaption></figure>
<p>The &#8220;Set It Off&#8221; mute&#8217;s mother is none other than Janet MacLachlan. Remember her? She was the actress who appeared on the &#8220;Florida Gets a Job&#8221; episode of <em>Good Times</em> when Gary Coleman snatched her wig off of her head and she yelled, <em>&#8220;Oh! I&#8217;ve never been so embarrassed in my life?!!&#8221;</em> That scene was CLASSIC and who would have ever thought that her lil&#8217; girl would end up being &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; girlfriend some twenty plus years later?!!</p>
<p>Check out Janet&#8217;s and Gary Coleman&#8217;s infamous <em>Good Times</em> scene below&#8230;</p>
<p><center><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BT99petoPk8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center>You may also remember Janet from her more popular roles in and episode of <em>Star Trek </em>as &#8220;Lt. Charlene Masters,&#8221; where she was one of the first African American actresses to appear on that series at that time. She was also one of the first Black actresses to rock an afro on a TV show in the 60&#8217;s.</p>
<figure style="width: 1440px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://scontent.fatl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/11953627_1651675408440608_163204373498893209_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&amp;ccb=2&amp;_nc_sid=730e14&amp;_nc_ohc=3lhOUzvoHl0AX845pTL&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fatl1-1.fna&amp;oh=8c6d47b3e9b11427cb9941fce3b8562d&amp;oe=60242FA2" width="1440" height="1080" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Janet Maclachlan in &#8220;Star Trek&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>Janet also starred in several other roles, such as an episode of the series, <em>I Spy</em>, where she appeared alongside Bill Cosby as one of the prettiest double agents we&#8217;d ever seen. She was on the <em>Alfred Hitchcock Hour</em> show, <em>Barney Miller</em>, <em>The Six Million Dollar Man</em>, <em>The Monkey&#8217;s Paw</em>, <em>The Invaders</em>, <em>The</em> <em>FBI</em>, <em>Ironside</em>, <em>The Mod Squad</em>, <em>The Name of the Game, The Sounder, Murphy&#8217;s Law, the Boy Who Could Fly</em>, and several other films and TV shows throughout her 50+ year career.</p>

<p>Samantha MacLachlan is Janet&#8217;s only daughter and there was not been any mention of who her father is.</p>
<p>Sadly, Janet passed away at the age of 77 in 2010 from complications due to a cardiovascular disease. She was living in Los Angeles at the time of her death.</p>
<figure style="width: 535px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/32/b4/ea/32b4ea153801225e3386dc7521b41c46.jpg" width="535" height="433" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Samantha MacLachlan, the actress who played &#8220;Cleo&#8217;s&#8221; (Queen Latifah) girlfriend, &#8220;Ursula,&#8221; in &#8220;Set It Off&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>As far as Samantha, she is now 50 years old and we&#8217;re not sure what she&#8217;s up to nowadays. After starring in a few more projects such as television series <em>Once and Again</em>, <em>NYPD Blue</em>, <em>JAG</em>, the films, <em>Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story</em> (1996) and <em>Tear It Down</em> (1997) and of course <em>Set It Off</em>, she pretty much retreated from the spotlight and lives a quiet non-celebrity type of life. But she&#8217;ll never be able to hide the fact that she was the woman who played the lesbian mute girlfriend of Queen Latifah in <em>Set It Off, </em>nor should she want to &#8211; her role added a great dynamic to that 90&#8217;s cult classic. It&#8217;s understandable why she was so convincing with her Ursula role now, acting is in her blood and her beloved mother, Janet MacLachlan, did an excellent job passing the torch to her daughter.</p>

<p>When rap legend/<em>Set It Off</em> star, Queen Latifah, first stepped onto the scene in the 1989 with her anthem, &#8220;Ladies First,&#8221; she quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the hip hop game. She became a champion for women, and was able to dominate on the mic, inside of a male dominated sport.</p>
<p>Another attribute of the Queen, was that it was no secret she was never the most girly-girl of public figures. She was more like one of the homies and though she&#8217;s never publicly stated she is a lesbian, nor bisexual, she&#8217;s been publicly photographed cuddled up with women. That&#8217;s why fans were shocked after seeing what she said about her choice in men.</p>
<p>As truth diggers, here at ILOSM, we did a lil&#8217; diggin&#8217; and unearthed a 90&#8217;s Vibe Magazine article, in which Latifah shared what she wanted in a man. Check out the excerpts next&#8230;</p>

<p><em>Salt-N-Pepa</em> will be in effect on a TV screen near you, in 2020 to be exact. According to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/salt-n-pepa-miniseries-the-clark-sisters-biopic-lifetime-814347/">Rolling Stone</a><em>,</em> Lifetime network has green-lighted the project.</p>
<h2>We See You Queen Latifah!</h2>
<p>Executive produced by non-other than &#8220;Ms. U.N.I.T.Y.&#8221; Queen Latifah herself and her Flavor Unit Production Company.</p>
<p>The <em>Salt-N-Pepa</em> miniseries traverses the lives of Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton, as they go from nursing school students to entering the world of hip-hop and rap and their rise and successes, which includes becoming the first female rap act to go platinum. The miniseries will feature a slew of their hits, including “Let’s Talk About Sex,” “What a Man,” “Shoop” and “Push It,” among others. James and Denton will serve as executive producers alongside Jesse Collins, and Flavor Unit’s Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere.</p>

<p>No word if Salt-N-Pepa&#8217;s DJ Spinderella will be featured in the miniseries, but that seems quite obvious.</p>
<p><em>Salt-N-Pepa </em>is not the only musical <a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/mel-b-reveals-slept-another-spice-girls-group-member-fans-angry/">group</a> to be on Lifetime next year either. A popular gospel group will receive their own Lifetime biopic.</p>

<h2>Queen Latifah Reveals Why She Stands By Jussie Smollett</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s still a total head scratcher. Jussie Smollett is a handsome, talented and popular entertainer. So why would he stage a racist and homophobic attack on himself? Queen Latifah is also having a hard time understanding this too. The Oscar-nominated actress does not believe that the evidence against Smollett is enough to prove him guilty. Latifah told <em><a href="https://news.yahoo.com/queen-latifah-smollett-until-see-140000272.html">Yahoo News</a></em> that until she sees &#8220;definitive&#8221; proof that the <em>Empire</em> actor concocted his attack on January 29, she will &#8220;go with him.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Until somebody can show me some proof otherwise, I&#8217;m going with him. Cause the guy I&#8217;ve seen has always seen has always been someone who cares about people, who cares about others, and who’s very kind and who’s always been cool and sweet. And that’s just the guy I know, Latifah said.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h2>Definitive Proof</h2>
<p>Queen Latifah also added: &#8220;So until I can see some definitive proof — which I haven’t seen yet — then, you know, I gotta go with him until I see otherwise.&#8221; Smollett is currently facing a felony charge of disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false report. The actor/musician claims he was jumped by two homophobic, racist assailants in Chicago.</p>
<p>But authorities have since dismissed the attack and say the so called assailants were known to Smollett. Police confirmed in a press conference that brothers Abel and Ola Osundairo were hired by Smollett to rough him up.  It is a charge that the actor strenuously denies the charges. Latifah, who has appeared on an episode of <em>Empire</em> with the star in the past, said she did not know what to make of the whole debacle. &#8220;Everything that&#8217;s happened since then has been, who knows.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s with great sadness that we report that Queen Latifah&#8217;s mother, Rita Owens, has passed away. After years of struggling with a heart condition, Ms. Rita Owens can now rest peacefully. The actress and veteran rapper released a statement to PEOPLE magazine as she announced her mother&#8217;s passing:</p>
<blockquote><p>It is with a heavy heart that I share the news my mother, Rita Owens passed away today, shared Latifah. Anyone that has ever met her knows what a bright light she was on this earth. She was gentle, but strong, sweet, but sassy, worldly but pragmatic, a woman of great faith and certainly the love of my life. She had struggled with a heart condition for many years and her battle is now over, Latifah revealed. I am heartbroken but know she is at peace. Thank you for your kindness, support and respect for our privacy at this time. Much Love, Dana Owens (aka Queen Latif‎ah), forever Rita Owens’ daughter.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h2>A Long Battle With Her Heart:</h2>
<p>In September, the &#8220;Girl&#8217;s Trip&#8221; star announced that she loved being her mother&#8217;s caregiver as her mother battled with heart failure for over 13 years. The women had an incredible bond and through caring for her mother, Queen Latifah&#8217;s love grew as she shared with PEOPLE magazine the huge amount of respect she had for her mother.</p>
<blockquote><p>I’ve just learned how much you can love a person and just how strong my mother is, Queen shared of her mother Rita Owens during a sit-down with <a href="http://people.com/celebrity/queen-latifah-on-mom-heart-failure-battle/">PEOPLE Now</a>. I’ve come to respect her in ways you can’t even imagine.</p></blockquote>
<p>When Ms. Rita Owens learned of her condition, she was determined to live her life. A pillar of strength, Rita Owens gathered Queen Latifah and the rest of her family members to educate them on how they could help her manage her life. After learning in 2006 that her mother was diagnosed with health failure, Queen placed heart health as a priority.</p>
<blockquote><p>My mom is stronger than anyone I’ve ever known. Growing up, when life got hard her strength helped pull us through, the actress said in a <a href="https://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/HeartFailure/Rise-Above-HF-Get-Social_UCM_477522_SubHomePage.jsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PSA</a> for the American Heart Association. In 2013, Owens was diagnosed with scleroderma, an incurable autoimmune disease that caused scar tissue to build up in her lungs, requiring her to be on oxygen 24/7.</p></blockquote>

<h2>Rising Above:</h2>
<p>To educate others, in 2015, Queen Latifah and her mother teamed up with American Heart Association&#8217;s Rise Above Heart Failure effort to pay homage to the 6 million Americans living with heart failure as well as they wanted to encourage others to prioritize their health. To support her mother, Queen took &#8220;red steps&#8221; by changing her diet as well as exercising. It was a wake up call for Queen and she stepped up to the plate. Being her mother&#8217;s champion, Queen Latifah shared with Essence how she ensured that her mother ate fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy snacks. To help her mother maintain a low sodium diet, they cooked at home a lot. Queen was committed to making her life and the life of her mother as healthy as possible.</p>
<blockquote><p>The notion of heart disease being the number one killer of women is something we sometimes forget, Latifah  shared with <a href="https://www.essence.com/2016/08/31/queen-latifah-heart-health">Essence</a>. Latifah got her own wake-up call on taking care of our hearts. My trainer, Jeanette Jenkins, said to me once, If we could see our bodies from the inside the way we see it from the outside, we would take much better care of ourselves. You can&#8217;t really see your heart the way you see your eyes, lips or hips when you look in the mirror.</p></blockquote>

<p>Recently, Queen took to Instagram to thank her friends and family members for their support as she prayed for her mom to recover. While her mother never gave up the fight, her battle is over and she can rest peacefully.</p>
