Taraji P. Henson will be co-starring in a much more true-to-life role than Empire's "Cookie Lyon."
Henson will be part of the 10th annual "CNN Heroes All-Star Tribute" Sunday.
She'll be honoring everyday folks who dedicate their lives to making their communities a better place.
Henson and other A-list celebrities as Richard Gere will celebrate people working to improve the lives of others through service.
