According to Good, she grew up "super nerdy, super skinny, buckteeth, big ole afro and yet I had a sense of confidence about myself, like, 'they just don't get it yet.'"{{cite news| url= http://www.vibe.com/article/meagan-good-talks-being-sex-symbol-racism-hollywood-and-playing-aaliyah| title= Meagan Good Talks Being A Sex Symbol, Racism In Hollywood And Playing Aaliyah |date= May 25, 2010| work= Vibe }} She has stated that she did not have any role models until early adulthood, when she began admiring actress Charlize Theron.{{cite news |first= Lynn| last= Barker|url= http://www.teenhollywood.com/2004/01/29/jennifer-freeman-and-meagan-good-sister-sister|archive-url= https://archive.today/20141103012758/http://www.teenhollywood.com/2004/01/29/jennifer-freeman-and-meagan-good-sister-sister|url-status= dead|archive-date= November 3, 2014| title= Jennifer Freeman and Meagan Good: Sister, Sister |work= BET |publisher= Viacom| location=Washington, DC |date= January 29, 2004| access-date= March 30, 2018}}

Career

=Childhood=

In the early stages of her career, Good worked as an extra on television shows such as Doogie Howser, M.D. and Amen.{{cite news |url= http://stumpedmagazine.com/interviews/meagan-good.html |title= Meagan Good Interview |access-date= March 11, 2009 |work= Stumped?

She first gained critical recognition for her performance as the troubled teen Cisely Batiste in Kasi Lemmons' 1997 film Eve's Bayou; she received two award nominations, including her first NAACP Image Award nomination.

=Adulthood=

From 1998 to 2001, Good appeared as Nina on Nickelodeon's TV show Cousin Skeeter. During this time, she landed small roles in the films 3 Strikes and House Party 4: Down to the Last Minute. Good also appeared in many music videos, by artists such as 50 Cent, (21 Questions), Imajin, Isyss (of which Good's sister La'Myia Good was a member), Lil' Johnny, Memphis Bleek, Tyrese, and Will Smith. After taking on small film and television roles for the next few years, Good began to transition into more mature roles in the early 2000s. Good believes she was able to move into adult roles due to playing characters several years younger than her.

In 2003, a major year for Good, she landed roles in the action-drama Biker Boyz and the romantic-comedy Deliver Us from Eva, which helped her transition from child to adult actress. She also appeared as the character Vanessa for one season of My Wife and Kids, before being replaced by another actor.{{cite web|url=https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/where-are-the-cast-of-my-wife-kids-today.html/|title=Where Are The Cast Of 'My Wife & Kids' Today?|website=Showbiz Cheat Sheet|date=January 6, 2020}} In 2004, Good starred alongside Jordana Brewster, Sara Foster, and Jill Ritchie in the action film D.E.B.S., and received a Best Actress nomination at the 2005 Black Movie Awards. She also had small roles in the teen dance film You Got Served, and Lance "Un" Rivera's directorial debut, The Cookout.

In 2005, Good co-starred in the horror film Venom, as well as the well-received neo noir film Brick. She played opposite rapper/actor Bow Wow in Malcolm D. Lee's Roll Bounce. In 2006, Good played the role of Coco, which she felt was her first true lead actress role, in the urban action-drama Waist Deep. Good also voiced a character for the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours that same year.{{cite news| url= http://www.gameshark.com/pc/news/17860/The-Girls-of-Scarface.htm|title=The Girls of Scarface| access-date= March 11, 2009|work= GameShark.com|url-status= dead| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090503003939/http://www.gameshark.com/pc/news/17860/The-Girls-of-Scarface.htm |archive-date= May 3, 2009}} The following year, Good landed a role in the dance movie Stomp the Yard, starring with Ne-Yo and childhood and personal

friend Columbus Short. In 2008, Good appeared in the horror film One Missed Call as an ill-fated college student, Shelley Baum. She appeared as an angry trophy wife in the Mike Myers comedy The Love Guru, and in the latter half of the year, she was one of the victims/game players in Saw V. She starred in 2009's The Unborn with Gary Oldman and Odette Yustman.

In 2010, Good started her own production company, Freedom Bridge Entertainment, with Marlon Olivera and fellow actors Tamara Bass and Ty Hodges.{{cite news |url= http://www.mwza.com/meagan-good-rolling-out-magazine-photos| title= Meagan Good Rolling Out Magazine Photos| access-date= March 11, 2009|work= MWZA.com}}{{cite web|url=https://theurbandaily.com/2013670/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-deception-star-meagan-good/|title=5 Things You Need To Know About “Deception” Star Meagan Good|access-date=September 15, 2019|website=theurbandaily.com}} She was part of the ensemble cast in 2012's Think Like a Man, a movie based on Steve Harvey's 2009 book Act like a Lady, Think like a Man. In 2013, Good starred in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Good returned to television from January to March 2013, starring in Deception after being contacted by her agents about the series while leaving a hair salon. According to the actress, she sat in her car "and cried for 30-minutes like a nerd, by myself."{{cite news |url= http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.22727/title.meagan-good-discusses-deception-compares-aaliyah-to-princess-diana |date= January 30, 2013| publisher= HipHop DX |first= Justin| last= Hunte| title= Meagan Good Discusses 'Deception,"' Compares Aaliyah To Princess Diana}}

Good wore a royal blue dress designed by Michael Costello to the June 30, 2013 BET Awards ceremony. The dress featured a plunging neckline down to her midriff and a front slit that rose to mid-thigh,{{cite web |url= http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/01/meagan-good-cleavage-baring-gown-2013-bet-awards-_n_3528375.html |title= Meagan Good Cleavage-Baring, Low-Cut Gown Stuns At The 2013 BET Awards |access-date= July 14, 2013|date=July 2, 2013|work=The Huffington Post| last= Wilson| first= Julee}} It was sometimes compared to the Green Versace dress worn by Jennifer Lopez to the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2000. Fashion & Style editors selected Good as "worst dressed" at the ceremony.

The dress was controversial also because Good was presenting the BET Award for Best Gospel Artist. According to Christine Thomasos of The Christian Post, Good has a history of defending her stylistic choices of presenting herself as a "sexy Christian". She had said earlier that year:

there is a classy way to do everything and there is nothing wrong with being sexy or having sex appeal and I think that I am definitely going to be someone who is boldly going to go out to the masses and be someone who say, 'Look! Women its okay' ...{{cite web|url=http://www.fashionnstyle.com/articles/8617/20130701/meagan-good-bet-awards-2013-photos-twitter-explodes-hot-plunging-cleavage-baring-style-deception-star-turns-heads-celebrates-wedding-anniversary-instagram.htm|title=Meagan Good BET Awards 2013: [PHOTOS] Twitter Explodes With Hot, Plunging, Cleavage-Baring Style, 'Deception' Star Turns Heads, Celebrates Wedding Anniversary on Instagram|access-date=2013-07-14|date=2013-07-01|work=Fashion & Style|author=Durham, Jessica|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130706061600/http://www.fashionnstyle.com/articles/8617/20130701/meagan-good-bet-awards-2013-photos-twitter-explodes-hot-plunging-cleavage-baring-style-deception-star-turns-heads-celebrates-wedding-anniversary-instagram.htm|archive-date=2013-07-06}}{{cite web|first=Greg|last=Braxton|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-megan-good-dress-bet-awards-20130701,0,7118857.story|title=Meagan Good presents BET gospel award in a dress cut to her navel|work=Los Angeles Times|date=July 1, 2013|access-date=July 13, 2013}}

Good responded on Instagram, expressing sadness that judgment had been passed on her, her character and her then-husband DeVon Franklin over what she wore to the ceremony. She said she picked the dress because she liked it and tried to express her individuality in her dress.{{cite web|first=Christine|last=Thomasos|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/meagan-good-responds-to-critics-of-revealing-bet-awards-dress-pub-1st-please-99195/|title=Meagan Good Responds to Critics of Revealing BET Awards Dress|work=The Christian Post|publisher=The Christian Post Company|location=Washington DC|date=July 2, 2013|access-date=July 13, 2013}}{{cite news|url=http://newsone.com/2625710/meagan-good-bet-awards/?fb_ref=%2F |title=Meagan Good Responds To Christian Backlash To Revealing BET Awards Dress |newspaper=Newsone |publisher=News One (Pakistani TV channel)|date=July 3, 2013|access-date=July 13, 2013}}

In 2014, Good reprised her role for Think Like a Man Too, the sequel to Think Like a Man. Good stated she "had a really good time" while filming the sequel in Las Vegas after initially being nervous "because there's so much energy that only Vegas can give."{{cite news| url= http://www.vegasplayermagazine.com/2014/03/good-times/|date=March 2014 |title= Think Like a Man Too's Meagan Good reveals details on filming in Las Vegas| website= vegasplayermagazine.com}} She later co-starred with Larenz Tate and Lance Gross in the 2017 Netflix film Deuces, and was star of 2019's The Intruder.

Personal life

Although she was not raised in the church, Good is a Protestant, considers herself a spiritual person and has said in numerous interviews that she declines roles that she feels might "disappoint God."{{cite news|first=Niki|last=Dowdell|title=Meagan Good: Grounded, Funny and Straight Up Cool|work=Sister 2 Sister|date=May 2005|page=19}}{{Cite news|first=Chris|last=Neumer|url=http://stumpedmagazine.com/interviews/meagan-good.html|title=Meagan Good Interview|work=Stumped?

At age 22, Good chose to focus on her career rather than dating, as she explained in a 2004 interview. In 2011, Good began dating DeVon Franklin, an executive for Columbia Pictures and a Seventh-day Adventist preacher. They became engaged in early April 2012, and were married on June 16, 2012, at Triunfo Creek Winery in Malibu, California.{{cite web| first= Jessica| last= Herndon| url= https://people.com/celebrity/meagan-good-weds-devon-franklin/|title=Meagan Good Weds In Malibu|work=People|publisher=Meredith Corporation |location= New York City|date=June 17, 2012|access-date=June 13, 2013}}{{cite web| first= Allison| last= Corneau |url= http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/actress-meagan-good-marries-devon-franklin-2012176|title=Meagan Good Marries DeVon Franklin|work=US Weekly |publisher= American Media, Inc.|location=New York City|date=June 17, 2012|access-date=February 15, 2017}} The pair stated that they remained chaste in their relationship prior to their marriage.{{cite web |first= Amethyst| last= Tate| url= http://www.ibtimes.com/megan-good-dress-actress-pulls-jennifer-lopez-plunging-blue-gown-2013-bet-awards-photo-1329421 |title=Megan Good Dress: Actress Pulls A Jennifer Lopez In Plunging Blue Gown At 2013 BET Awards |work= International Business Times |date=July 1, 2013| access-date=July 14, 2013}} In December 2021, it was announced Good and Franklin were divorcing after nine years of marriage.{{cite magazine|url=https://people.com/tv/meagan-good-devon-franklin-to-divorce-after-9-years-of-marriage/|title=Harlem Star Meagan Good and Husband DeVon Franklin to Divorce After 9 Years of Marriage|magazine=People|last=Mizoguchi|first =Karen|date=December 21, 2021 |access-date=December 21, 2021}} Their divorce was finalized in June 2022.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/meagan-good-divorce-finalized-ahead-of-ex-husbands-mafs-debut/|title=Meagan Good's Divorce From DeVon Franklin Finalized Ahead of His 'Married at First Sight' Debut|magazine=US Weekly|last=Emmanuele|first =Julia|date=June 7, 2022 |access-date=June 8, 2022}}Ryan Naumann (June 8, 2022).
