Life and career

Luenell was born in Tollette, Arkansas, and is best known by her first name. The youngest of eight children,[2] she was raised in Northern California and attended Castro Valley High School.[2] She has one daughter and lives in Los Angeles, California.

In the early-1990s, Luenell appeared regularly on Soul Beat TV on the Oakland, California cable station KSBT, along with prominent Bay Area African-American journalist Chauncey Bailey, an interviewer and talk show host on the program.[3] Luenell was one of the few hired actors in the 2006 hit mockumentary comedy film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. In the film, Luenell plays a prostitute of the same name, a hooker with a heart of gold, who later marries Borat.

In 2012, she acted in three #1 feature films: Think Like A Man; the 3D animated hit Hotel Transylvania, with Adam Sandler; and Taken 2, with Liam Neeson. She also co-starred in the comedy That's My Boy with Adam Sandler and Leighton Meester.
