Mariah Carey leaped at the chance to reignite her movie career in independent film TENNESSEE - so she could exorcise the demons of 2001 flop GLITTER.
The movie was a critical and commercial failure, and acting offers dried up for Carey.
Seven years on the star returns to the big screen, playing a waitress in Tennessee, after producer Lee Daniels offered to help her find her way back in Hollywood.
She says, "It was cool for Lee Daniels to take a chance on me because obviously, you know, not everybody was going to do that." [via]
