Joking about her acting promise back then, she said: 'I guess I’ve been selling myself short a little bit in terms of my performance in that film because I thought I was just a baby and I was just there.

'But actually I had to make some choices and perform a little bit because I was older, I was 20 months playing a one year old,' she continued.

Jimmy quizzed her on whether she wrote and starred in her own plays when she was growing up, to which she replied: 'Yes, constantly, and the shows themselves were endless.

'They were really long and anytime anyone tried to get up and leave id say, "It's not over!".

Composed: Mamie wore her soft blonde hair coiffed back in a loose chignon and highlighted her striking facial features with neutral make-up, a creamy peach lip and a dusting of matching blusher

Burdened: She added a touch of sparkle to her demure ensemble with a pair of gold strappy sandals which she teamed with drop earrings and a number of costume rings

'I don't know that it was so great for everyone else but clearly I enjoyed it because I kept on doing it.'

Jimmy's face lit up and he immediately inquired as to whether the footage still exists.

'There are home videos I’m sure. You'll have to talk to my dad,' she added.

The upcoming music biopic tells the true story of his former group N.W.A.’s rise to prominence in the mid-1980s.

Ice was banned from saying what N.W.A stands for (N***** Wit Attitudes) and instead he and Jimmy took turns revealing what the acronym does not stand for.

Fallon then introduced the sketch, Things N.W.A. Does Not Stand For in which he and Ice Cube listed a handful of phrases that are not the meaning behind the rap group’s name.

The things that N.W.A. does not stand for includes, 'Nine White Accountants', 'Nickelback Was Awesome' and 'No Winking Allowed'.
