Queen Latifah was my only choice to play a perfect Rose Maxson. Both women are strong, full of life, kind and considerate, but within the same breath, will not take any nonsense from their men. Rose is younger than Troy they have been married for 18 years and then he breaks the news to her about him having an affair and a child is on the way. "I have to wait eighteen years to hear something like this." Up to this point in their relationship, she’s done everything possible for him, Lyons (his oldest son from another marriage), and Cory. She is a good homemaker, works and volunteers at her church. She has never asked of anything from Troy except to let Cory play football. Once Troy told her about the affair and the baby, she changed her attitude toward him and became a much harder woman to live with. After Alberta died (baby’s mother), she accepted Troy’s daughter and raised as if she were her own.
