Already a Hollywood veteran by the time The Inkwell hit the screens, Vanessa Bell was best known for her stint in Eddie Murphy‘s Coming to America. The Cleveland, Ohio born-and-bred actress played Larenz Tate’s mom in the coming-of-age comedy, but has not slowed up since producing her own work (In the Company of Friends) and starring in CBS’s action-drama, NCIS.
