Queen Latifah insists on a "no death clause" when signing up for new projects to ensure her character doesn't die onscreen. The actress has carved out a stellar career in Hollywood since rising to fame as a rapper in the late 1980s. But during a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Latifah revealed that she has a "no death clause" added to her contracts to ensure she isn't killed off in a film or TV show, as she often was in early performances.
