Dorothy Parker was a screenwriter for popular directors in the '30s and '40s. She had a helping hand in some of the best movies out of those decades.

"Run the World" was deemed too inappropriate by the Chinese government and they have since banned it from existing on any platform. Bey was also barred from entering Malaysia after she refused to comply with the countries strict dress code.
