In her second film, American Beauty, Banks was cast as a love interest for Nicholas Cage, who plays the owner of a chain of hair salons. Azealia Banks did not start working on the film until it was halfway through its shooting time, which left her unable to meet the requirements of pre-production, which she felt she had to meet in order to qualify for the role. Once she was cast, she made sure that she was aware of all of the production’s requirements, which included having a decent resume and a high school diploma (she is actually from the United States, and was born in Ghana).
