I was looking for the update on this…….I love seeing Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen together. Love em.
By the way, that’s Debbie’s son pictured with her in the suit, but the other two are not her kids.

@ 5. Yeah I edited it because I remember her daughter didn’t look like that. I got an email saying that was Phylicia’s kids.

Phylicia Rashaad Looks Nice and her sis Debbie, whose the oldest cause it looks like Debbie is more older than Phylicia. Lynn Whitfield gained mad weight I didn’t even recognize her, the last time I saw her is when she was in “A thin line between love and hate” with Martin Lawrence and she was mad skinny back then but she look nice now, tho her face look swollen. Terrance Howard daughter looks cute awww, tho she doesn’t have his color eyes she’s still a cutie. But overrall everyone looks good. Eartha Kitt still looks the same. What happened o Grace Jones??

Saw this last Wed. (was too young - didn’t know about the orig. w/Liz Taylor, but will check for it) and Anika (sassy and classy - OWNED that stage) did her thang! She, James Earl Jones (when he curses - whew!) and then Terrence Howard (comedic parts) are the whole play. Terrence kept “leaning” on the wrong leg, but it was cool.

@6: You know it. My friend and I saw him in Memphis once and we were like, “Is that Morgan Freeman? Alright, now!”
Everyone looks great, except Pauletta. That fur coat is toooooooooooo much for her.
I’m going to see this play tomorrow night. I’m excited.

Phylicia is 2 or 3 yrs. older than Debbie, but Debbie does look older. Phylicia looks like she stopped aging.

Phylicia is the oldest and Debbie was or is married to Norm Nixon and ex basketballplayer. He is quite handsome himself.

@ 7 & 9 I know that’s not Phylicia’s daughter but I’m not sure if that’s her son or not, I doubt it tho. If I find out who they are, I’ll post it.

I know this is mean but Terrence’s kid is not very good-looking, his great looks went to waste.
Phylicia was always really pretty in the Cosby show (oh the memories)
I could eat Boris kodjoe he is sooooo hottttt

Yessss! I live for these successful people of color. Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen are PHENOMENAL WOMEN; I enjoy their work and their success has NEVER been compromised by any scandals or less than desirable roles.
Yes black people, YESSSSS!!!

SHUGSHUG,
it quite possibly could be him, I haven’t seen the movie in its entirety… I say it could be him simply because DEBBIE ALLEN did DIRECT it, so maybe she found a way to incorporate her son into it as well.

Boris? Ugh! Now, I don’t want to see it…seriously, he’s just ruined it for me… Anika needs a man that can be just as intense as she is onstage…I know Brick was beautiful, but they could have found a passionate, athletic guy who isn’t the male movie equivalent of Gabrielle Union or somebody…yuck!

Loved…Loved…Loved everyone! Just not that self-hating T. Howard. Don’t care for him too much. He’s said a few things that totally turned me off. He embarrassed me and made me feel very ashamed of him. But in a way I even felt sorry for him too.
