Ask any Black woman over the age of 40 who her top ten favorite movie stars are and chances are she will name Denzel Washington among the ten. They don't even refer to him by his full name of Denzel Washington. They just call him Denzel.
The movie star has been popular with African-American women practically ever since he's been on TV and in movies beginning in the late 1970s. Denzel ultimately became a household name in the 80s and 90s, especially after having played one of the leading roles in the Civil War movie Glory (1989), for which Washington won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of "Tripp", the runaway slave in Edward Zwick's powerful historical masterpiece. Ever since then, many Black women haven't been able to get enough of him. You can read more about Denzel Washington by visiting http://www.imdb.com/.
