The four-time Emmy Award winning actress was cast as Carolyn Carmichael, the wife to Delroy Lindo’s Woody Carmichael. She served out tough justice as the mother, and dispensed wisdoms to her only baby girl, Troy. Her stock never fell after that movie as she was in 2000’s Love And Basketball, 2005’s Desperate Housewives, and was most recently seen in Steve McQueen‘s Oscar-award winning 12 Years a Slave.
