- A one-person category: Tracy Camilla Johns, who is "sex, sex, sex" every moment she is on screen.
- Her IMDb is called the weirdest: She's Gotta Have It as Nola Darling, a 1988 Nike ad with Spike Lee and Michael Jordan, a Wild Thing video, Family Ties, a Mo Better Blues cameo and this movie, then no credit for 21 years until Red Hook Summer.
- Research found no explanation; speculation includes marriage and kids, a substance problem or quitting the business, though Spike Lee's patronage could have sustained a career.
- Listeners who know what happened to her are invited to reply on Van and Logan's Twitter.
- Her scene turning on music with the remote in another woman's face carries enormous tension.
- Pookie is proposed but rejected as too big a part; Judd Nelson is ineligible because he gets his own category later.
