the one who seems just a little bit crazy. so you don't want to test her b/c you don't know what she'll do. and whatever you wanna do is probably not worth the risk of dealing w/her crazy.
" It all began in 1993 when Lewis took on the role of Tina Turner’s mother Zelma Bullock in What’s Love Got to Do with It, featuring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.
From there she was hooked, carving out a career that has lasted for more than three decades.
"Playing these mothers have afforded me a very nice life and a sustaining career. Folks gon’ always need a mama," Lewis tells Centric. "People ask, ‘why do you always play the mama?’ For that kind of money, I’ll play the daddy!""

32. "She's not the go to Hollywood black mama..." In response to Reply # 28
Not saying that as a dis to Octavia If you like her playing that role...cool You have to give Jenifer credit where credit is due She's been at it since 1993 with over 300+ TV and film roles...most of them as someone's mama. Octavia would have to play a mama in every black TV show and movie from here on out in order to catch up to her. I don't think that's her goal being In the Oscar club and all...
Less than 15 minutes in, I was sold. Robert Townsend shut me the fuck up. Jenifer Lewis shut me the ENTIRE fuck up. Marc Shaiman (who wrote all the songs) shut me the ENTIRE, ABSOLUTE fuck up.
