Ask Blackie

Vanessa Bell Calloway is back on TV and giving Jada Pinkett Smith’s character, on the TNT drama series ‘HawthoRNe,’ a run for her money.

While she’s done numerous film and TV roles, many fans will remember the Cleveland native from her roles in films such as ‘Coming to America’ as Eddie Murphy’s bride-to-be, ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It’ with Angela Bassett, and ‘Biker Boyz’ with Laurence Fishburne.

Daytime soap fans also recall Calloway as Yvonne Caldwell when she was on ‘All My Children’ opposite iconic character Jesse and Angie Hubbard.

Black Voices caught up to the much-missed actress (who popped up on episodes of BET’s reality show ‘Baldwin Hills’ a few years ago).
