Lynn Whitfield is one of the most respected members of the African American acting community and has been in over 90 productions throughout her career. Whitfield vaulted to international fame in The Josephine Baker Story” (1991), the acclaimed HBO biopic portraying the legendary St. Louis-born and Paris-based entertainer turned Resistance and Civil Rights fighter. Her performance earned an Emmy Award as “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Special or Miniseries,” giving her “the greatest sense of accomplishment and realization of my vision,” she says. After taking some time off for her greatest role, mother to daughter Grace with Josephine Baker director and former husband, the late Brian Gibson, Whitfield starred opposite Bill Cosby in “The Cosby Mysteries” (NBC, 1994).

Returning to the big screen as the unforgettable Brandi in Martin Lawrence’s popular urban revenge saga, “A Thin Line Between Love and Hate” (1996), Whitfield went on to score critical success as the beleaguered wife of Samuel L. Jackson in “Eve’s Bayou” (1997), the story of a prominent black Louisiana family filmed near New Orleans. She returned to a similar dramatic milieu in the ABC miniseries, “The Wedding” (1998), also executive produced by Winfrey.

Whitfield has won five NAACP Image Awards and four nominations for her work in film and television, including “Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story” (2004) co-starring Jamie Foxx. She attracted a new generation of fans in two of the Disney Channel’s highest rated movies, “The Cheetah Girls” (2003) and “The Cheetah Girls 2” (2006). Other feature film roles include the Chris Rock vehicle, “Head of State” (2003); Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Family Reunion” (2006); “Mama I Want To Sing”(2008), a remake of the off-Broadway musical filmed partly in Baton Rouge; Kings of the Evening (2008); The Rebound (2010); and Things Fall Apart (2011), produced by and co-starring rapper-actor 50 Cent.

Recently, Ms. Lynn Whitfield has guest starred in such shows as ABC’s hit drama, “How to Get Away With Murder” and VH1’s “Hit the Floor”. You can currently catch Ms. Whitfield staring in TV One’s first original horror film, “Fright Night Files”. Whitfield is currently developing projects for her production company that will tell compelling stories from the rich motherlode of Louisiana culture, as well as those from common experience told with uncommon honesty.
