12A LISA COLLINS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT/The Charlotte Post Behind the Scenes He's since called her work in the film "a tour de force" per formance. Of working with Thursday, March 28, 1996 Tackling Girl 6: “This is the first time I've ever seen myself onscreen and not cringed," reveals Theresa Randall, the lead actress in Spike Lee's "Girl 6." Of course, those of us who have seen her in any of one of at least one of Lee a half dozen films-including "Bad Boys," "Malcolm X" and "Sugar Hill" might disagree. Still, Randall is most pleased with her performance in the 39-year-old filmaker’s last release. "Girl 6" (Lee's ninth film), is about an aspiring actress who becomes a phone sex operator in order to save up enough money to move to Hollywood. Starring Randall, Jenifer Lewis, supermodel Naomi Campbell and Lee, the film also features cameos from Madonna and Halle Berry. Lately life has been a whirl wind for Randall, who had been jetsetting up until last week's premiere and box office opening. "I thought I was going to come home and sleep for a couple of days," she said over lunch at the Beverly Regent‘s real. I did the work but I've had some time off since we wrapped. Now it has become my reality again." While this makes the third Spike Lee film she has been cast in, Randall says it is the :rst time she has actually worked with Lee one-on-one. Snipes him, she says, "We had our ups and downs, but it was a great experience. One thing I did learn was that I was able to make it. I didn't think I could. “The hardest part,” Randall said, "was living out Girl 6's existence. Spike gave me a lot of freedom and looking back, I realize he gave me all that freedom so I wouldn't freak out," (The film got NC-17 rat ings on its first two tries). "When I first read the script and saw the dialogue, I said, ‘I'm not doing this.’ I was defi nitely afraid of phone sex and to be seen in that light, but the more I realized this was just something a confused girl gets into. It is not who Girl 6 is but instead it's one woman's jour ney. The title ‘Girl 6’ is because she could be anybody and the issue may not be phone sex. It's whatever you do that no one else knows about." With the exposure from "Girl 6," there's very little Randall's life she hasn't been asked. However, this up and coming single actress guards her pri vacy fiercely. As to how Hollywood will perceive her after "Girl 6," Randall states "it will let people know that if they have put me in a category, they will have to think again." Though Randall is quick to add, "I'm not promoting the phone sex industry. ‘Girl 6’ just happens to be one girl's ’XIELEBRATE EASTER’ Encourage our readers to attend church.

Only in New York: The rapper dubbed the Notorious BIG (Christopher Wallace) was charged vrith assault after reports that he attacked two autograph seekers with a baseball bat. The inci dent began with the rapper refusing to give his autograph, which sparked a retort from the two victims, who then jumped into a cab and were pursued by Wallace and a friend in a car. The rapper caught up and allegedly smashed the cab's wind shield before attacking with the bat.
