Stacey Dash starred in a couple episodes of "The Cosby Show" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" early on in her career but her big break came in 1995's Clueless as the self-centered Dionne Davenport, opposite Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy. Part Barbadian, African-American and Mexican, the former "Single Ladies" star caught a lot of flack in 2012 for endorsing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
