🎬 Fun Fact: Precious (2009) Gabourey Sidibe had never acted in a film before landing the lead role of Precious. She was discovered at a college audition and impressed the casting directors with her raw emotional power. To help her adjust to the intense role, director Lee Daniels kept many scenes unrehearsed so her reactions would remain authentic and spontaneous.
