Queen Latifah first's album, 1989's "All Hail the Queen," came out when she was 19. Shortly thereafter she launched her film career with supporting roles in the films "Jungle Fever," "House Party 2" and "Juice," before breaking out in the 1996 box-office hit "Set It Off." Her acting career has since taken priority over her music, earning an Oscar nomination for her role in "Chicago" and racking up credits in movies like "Bringing Down the House," "Taxi," "Beauty Shop," "The Secret Life of Bees," "Last Holiday," "Just Wright" and "Joyful Noise."
