Mariah Carey returns to acting
02nd Mar 2006 16.41 IST

After the revival of her singing career, R 'n' B diva Mariah Carey is making a comeback to the big screen, reports say.

Mariah's first attempt at acting in 2001 box-office disaster 'Glitter' was widely panned. However, her appearance in 2002 movie 'WiseGirls' with Mira Sorvino did get Mariah some appreciation.

And now that her music career has been revived with the success of her latest Grammy-award winning album 'The Emancipation Of Mimi', Mariah is said to be returning to Hollywood.

Reports on Variety say Mariah is set to appear in independent drama 'Tennessee', which is to be shot in New Mexico and Tennessee this spring.

The movie's director, Aaron Woodley, apparently decided to cast Carey after her Grammy-award winning album and also after viewing her work in 'WiseGirls'.

"I never saw Glitter, but I liked her work in the other film. Because this character is inter-racial and struggles with all sorts of issues because of that, I thought she (Mariah) was perfect," Woodley is quoted as saying.

In 'Tennessee', Mariah Carey will play a waitress who sets off with her two brothers to find their estranged father.
