Book Jenifer Lewis
Jenifer Lewis came up through Broadway musicals and sang backup for Bette Midler before film roles in Beaches and Sister Act opened a long screen career. She became Hollywood's go-to mother figure, playing moms in What's Love Got to Do With It, Poetic Justice, The Preacher's Wife, The Brothers, The Cookout, The Wedding Ringer and both Think Like a Man films, as well as in the miniseries The Temptations. That run earned her the informal title The Mother of Black Hollywood, which she later used for her memoir. Her voice work includes Mama Odie in Disney's The Princess and the Frog and Flo in Pixar's Cars films, and she also appeared in Dead Presidents, Cast Away and Hereafter. On television she led Lifetime's Strong Medicine as Lana Hawkins from 2000 to 2006 and recurred on A Different World, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Girlfriends. From 2014 she played grandmother Ruby Johnson on ABC's Black-ish, and she appeared in Hulu's History of the World, Part II.
