It would be completely understandable it this actress just wanted to forget that night in 1992 but this star not only refuses to forget, she draws strength and power through facing her brutal attack head on.

Gabrielle Union has spoken to Miami's Ocean Drive magazine about why she took on the role of a rape victim in her new movie, even if it brought up memories of when she was assaulted.

Now 43, the star was just 19 when a man raped her during a robbery at the Payless store where she was working during the summer to make extra money for college.
