Gabrielle Union, 35, is an actress and former model. Her most notable role was as a cheerleader opposite Kirsten Dunst in Bring it On.

Her latest body of work on the big screen is the newly released flick Meet Dave, which premiered in L.A. last week. Eddie Murphy blew off the special July 9th showing. Eddie must have had a premonition because the film bombed at the boxoffice over the weekend, making a dismal $5 million and falling well back in the pack in seventh spot.

The actress is currently filming Cadillac Records. The movie stars Emmanuelle Chriqui, Adrien Brody and Beyonce. It is a period piece that chronicles the rise and fall of the R&B record label Chess Records.

Union was photographed on Friday attending the 12th Annual Zo’s Summer Groove benefit dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami, Florida. The event proceeds go to Alonzo Mourning Charities and Wade’s World Foundation. These organizations fund youth enrichment programs for children in South Florida.

Union’s tie to Florida was her marriage to NFL player Chris Howard of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The couple divorced in April 2006.
