In the action film "Romeo Must Die," Aaliyah played Juliet to Jet Li's modern-day, martial-arts Romeo. She also recorded two songs for the film's soundtrack: "Try Again" and "Are You Feelin' Me?"
"She didn't want to be portrayed as a sex symbol but as a serious actor, and I think that she achieved that at some point," said Peter Noel, a writer for the Village Voice.
Her "Romeo Must Die" performance landed the singer a coveted role in the two sequels to Keanu Reeves' 1999 techno-action flick, "The Matrix." Aaliyah apparently already shot some scenes for the sequels in the spring but was due to film the bulk of her role next year.
