Now that I have seen the trailer for THE HELP, I would like to know what else she's done that's worth seeing.

She knocked that Minny character out of the ballpark!

Let's just say she has far more range in this movie than when she was getting psychic visions from dead lobsters.

I think this is Octavia's "break out" role-she's more than paid her acting dues!! I hope this is the beginning of starring roles!

She's certainly getting acclaimed for this and this is so much an ensemble film that really, she's one of the main actresses in it.

I LOVED it when she got killed in "Halloween 2!!!!" She died so gracefully! LOL! I did actually like the film itself too, though the IMDb nerds assaulted the hell out of it for being "different" from the original "Halloween 2."

The Help is her best performance yet.

She plays a small but memorable role in Dinner For Schmucks. Freakin' hilarious. She plays a woman that can communicate with dead animals.

Blue Streak. "Janiece! Yo' sad sack 'a bones is here." Brilliant. And don't get me started on Spider-Man.

She was stabbed to death by Michael Myers in Halloween 2. Not a great movie, but a twisted death scene for sure.

I really loved her in Fruitvale Station. One of the biggest snubs at the Oscars that year, she was fantastic.
