I am trying to figure out why, when I filter for Queen Latifah as a cast member, I have a choice between two different Queen Latifahs spelled exactly the same?  The first one bring up her roles in Bringing out the dead, Bone Colloector, and Ice Age. The second one brings up her movie Last Holiday.  And neither brings up her role in Ice Age; The Meltdown.  I did not alter any of these profiles since downloading them?  They look to be spelled exactly the same.  Any ideas?

Check the first and last name fields. One of them is probably set up with her full name in the first name field as a stage name.

Where is that broken out at? I am fairly new at this after recently upgrading to the new version.  I am looking under the Edit Profile, then cast, Queen Latifah is spelled the same in all movies at this Tab. Where exactly does it break out first name from last name?

make sure you have "Color-code cast & crew names" activated

Then look at the prifiles if the entire name is blue, then "Queen Latifah" is all in the first name field. If "Queen" is blue" but "Latifah" is green, then Queen is in the first name and Latifah in the last name field.

"Queen Latifah" is considered a stage name and should be entirely in the first name field. So the profiles where it's broken up should be changed.

Edit the profile. Highlight actor's name and select Locate actor. You will probably find two entries for Queen Latifah. Edit actor and you will see how the entries are parsed. Queen Latifah is a stage name and should be entered in the first name field.

Edit: Or...what Achim said. I completely forgot about color-coding.

It worked! Thanks for the help.  I probably took the long way, I deleted the entry for her, then recreated with the proper listing.  That happens to be the second listing. Do I submit this somewhere to get it updated?

If you have profiles where she was previously listed as Queen / / Latifah, then they should be re-submitted with the whole name parsed into the First Name field.
