After a handful of guest roles on TV, Henson also starred in Hustle & Flow. She's gone back and forth between the big and small screens, appearing in the films Four Brothers, I Can Do Bad All by Myself, and Think Like a Man, as well as the series Boston Legal, Eli Stone, and Person of Interest. In 2009, she was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Fingers crossed Cookie can win her an Emmy!
