I remember that. That's a great movie. That's sad that she died.

She was also in the movie "Lean on Me" She played Mrs. Barrett, the woman that was trying to get Joe Clark, played by Morgan Freeman, fired.

I'm watching the Cosby show right now and she's on it.

It's so sad she was really young.

Damn i didn't know she died. When did this happen? I remember her on All My Children soap opera in the early 90's. I always thought she was ugly but i'm sorry to hear about her death. I remember her in Lean On Me movie too. She was against Morgan Freeman putting the lock on the school doors & she wanted him out of that school. I also remember her in Shaft. She was Mekhi Phifer's mother & she killed that white dude at the end who killed Mekhi. Shaft was a good movie with Samuel Jackson. People said it wasn't good but i disagree. I used to watch The District sometimes. Was it really filmed in Washington DC?
