Скачать или смотреть The Forgotten Stars of 90s Black Sitcoms — Where Are They Now?

The 1990s were a golden era for Black sitcoms. Shows like Family Matters, Moesha, Living Single, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Sister, Sister, and Martin ruled primetime television, giving audiences endless laughter while showcasing Black families, friendships, and communities in a way that felt authentic and groundbreaking. These sitcoms launched stars who remain household names today, but they also featured actors who have since faded from the spotlight, leaving fans to wonder: where did those forgotten stars go?
Take Family Matters, for instance. While Jaleel White’s Steve Urkel became a cultural icon, other cast members struggled to find the same level of success after the show ended. Jaimee Foxworth, who played little sister Judy Winslow, left the series early on and largely disappeared from Hollywood, only to resurface years later when fans asked why her character was suddenly written out. Similarly, Telma Hopkins, who played Aunt Rachel, moved on to smaller roles but never regained the visibility she had in the 90s.
On Moesha, Brandy was the star, but many of her co-stars had winding paths after the show. Countess Vaughn, who played Kim Parker, spun off into The Parkers but later stepped away from Hollywood due to personal struggles and health issues. Marcus T. Paulk, who played Brandy’s younger brother Myles, worked sporadically in film and television, but his adult career never reached the same heights as his childhood fame.
