Trivia

Mother of rock star Lenny Kravitz

When she auditioned for her role in "The Jeffersons" (1975), the producer mentioned to her that he wasn't sure she looked believable as a African-American woman married to a white man. In response, she produced a family picture with her husband who was white. As a result, she was immediately cast.

Born in Miami and raised in Brooklyn, her father was a emigre from the Bahamas.

As wife "Helen Willis" on "The Jeffersons" (1975), she and white actor Franklin Cover broke barriers by becoming the first Caucasian-African-American married couple on prime-time TV.

Was nominated for Broadway's 1974 Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actress (Dramatic) for "The River Niger."

Was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Grandmother of Zoë Kravitz.

Son Lenny Kravitz wrote the song "Thinking of You" after her departure. In the video, he was singing behind a photo of the mother, when young.
