She has a memoir out recently too.
Yeah:


- Miles Davis was in a robe the first time they met.

- Tyson once called Lenny Kravitz's mom on him.

- She showed Liz Taylor there's more than one queen.

- She snatched Miles Davis's weave and she'd do it again.

- Tyler Perry pads her paychecks.

- She had to remeet Denzel Washington on the street.

- She hung up on Barack Obama.​

I had never heard of her before today and at lunch I was watching when Obama awarded her the medal of freedom in 2016......

Awww no! She was great. My mom is gonna be sad. 😥

She was still working at 96. Played Viola Davis' mom in How To Get Way With Murder just last year. Was still slaying the red carpets too.

RIP Queen.

Damn, I really hate to hear news like this. She's was an amazing actress and been in some of my favorite movies.

RIP.

RIP

And for some reason, this also reminded me that Sidney Pointier is still alive almost in his mid 90s

This hurts. She was such an incredible talent and a true legend. Now I really want to re-watch The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.

Man, I swear she was just on TV being the goddess that she is. RIP. She definitely should have won an Oscar for Sounder.

She had a really successful life and was still acting at 96. Rest in Peace, Queen.

Damn. RIP.

What a Legend.

I've always loved seeing her work, from The Color Purple to How to Get Away with Murder.

Also, 96 years old?! That's a lifetime for sure! Sad at her passing, but also, celebratory of a long lived life, and her body of work.

Man, my mom nearly broke down when she heard the news.

I didn't get to see her older work, but listening to her talk about her memoir on NPR made me realize how important she was.
