Most women in abusive relationships tend to never let anyone know. They cover it up, play it down, make excuses for it and go out of their way to pretend like it isn’t happening. Once out of that situation, they just want to get on with their new life and let their spirit shine.
OK, first of all, some of the footage of her as a child, is actually the actress from What's Happening, Danielle Spencer . PLEASE do proper and CORRECT research before you publish wrong images.
Then at the end she says ‘who knows what the future holds’ in reference to whether she has children, promptly followed by suggesting she’s doing well ‘at 62 years old…….’ 😅
Sometimes, it just means what it says. Some people are justifiably difficult to work with, like Janet Hubert. It turns out that her anger was justified, but she still didn’t got in because she couldn’t coexist either Will and was jealous of him. That doesn’t mean her complaints were baseless. I see the same with a lot of actors. Being difficult to work with and being justified aren’t mutually exclusive.
@@DeCurtaRican This comment didn't age well since so many things have come out about Will Smith and his escapades. And she was blacklisted by him, that came out too
Exactly, especially when you’re not in the same situation to know what she was actually facing. I’m sure a lot more happened that she didn’t say. It’s sad that so many of our people are so judgmental.
I don't believe calling a black woman difficult because that cane be the case. However speculating on it without any evidence can be problematic..You cannot exclude a person in a group from being difficult because all kinds of people can be difficult. Unfortunately, society has Made some women take pride in being difficult
I caught that too. Too bad that that happened. It probably represents a few seconds that could have been taken out. The video would have not been questionable at all. I enjoyed the rest though...
Difficult to work with? That's usually the 'go to' when a [black] woman asks questions, makes recommendations, and voices her opinion. Dawn controlled her career vsxthe opposite, and is very accomplished, successful, and seemingly level-headed.
A true example of the grass ain’t always green on the other side. These jobs will lie in your face with promises. You must always stay one step ahead with another Avenue.
Those grandmothers (and grandfathers) who know and embrace the power of their roles are truly earth angels. May God bless them for standing in the gap.
Danielle Spencer is not Dawn Lewis! How totally stupid that this error wasn't caught! If this isn't a AI production, then this is a serious error to have not caught and corrected. You went from a possible grade A+ to F-.
wow! very nice broadcast on Dawn Lewis & I luv her more. thk u for the wonderful research & presentation- one of the best & most respectful celebrity mini docs!
Whoever put this video together GOOFED and used footage of Dee on What's Happening. Is this another case of someone trying to say that black people look alike.
Dawn was on the show until it ended. Im not understanding the sub-title. She was on the final episode after marrying the Colonel and having a baby. What are you talking about. I think you need to double check your research.
Dawnn left A Different World at the end of season five, which is the same season that she was married to Colonel Taylor and had the baby. She is mentioned but never seen in season six. She let to do hangin' with Mr. Cooper. Which aired at the same time as season six of A Different World.
Shade that you would imply that Dawn might be difficult to work with, seeing that she has continued to have a successful career elsewhere. Brilliant artist with a stellar performance resume.
I love you dawn and your beautiful wonderful family 👪 ❤ God will continue to bless you your family and your friends and also your fans all around the world love you all stay safe ❤ 🙏
You are right and the Real Dawn Lewis from A Different World is single today but was married to Johnny Newman. Some of these bloggers just report anything that is not true.
They eventually wrote Jaleesa's character worse the longer she was on the series. She was strong and independant initially but then they ran her off the rails, especially once Sinbad left the show and they paired her with Col. Taylor. I'm not sure what happened on Hangin' With Mr. Cooper tho. The show was better in the first season with the updated Three's Company setup.
Difficult to work with is your opinion , knowing her worth cause she has a clear knowledge of Who she is mentally , physically and financially is better statement . She is worthy of the Greatness she has accepted. Peace & Blessings
I liked A Different World growing up, but the role of Captain Freeman (Star Trek Lower Decks) was made for her. I hope one day we see her live action in uniform. Hands down the best captain ever!
Dawnn was let go from Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, because ABC felt the show was working in the Three's Comany format and wanted the to be more family friendly and fit in with the other TGIF! shows, after moving it from Tuesday nights to Fridays nights. So for season two they let Dawnn Lewis as Robin Dumars go and they brought in Saundra Quarterman as Geneva Lee and Raven-Symoné as Nicole Lee, to make the show more family friendly.
Those clips from about 5:04 to about 5:14 are not of Ms. Lewis. That is the child actress, Danielle Spencer, who played the character, “Dee” in the show, “What’s Happening”. And I agree about the direction of the show. I noticed how it started to be less and less about black college experience and instead somehow became the “Whitley and Dwayne” show. Btw, Unless I missed something in the commentary, where were the dark secrets and why she quit the industry?
I always liked her on screen to hanging with Mr cooper to a different world didn’t see her much in movies only movie I can recall was ima get you sucka a classic wish they would put her in more films and black series that’s hot right now also she played in the parent hood one episode that was really good
So the abusive household is the dad’s fault? Kids tend to learn traits from their parents. The mom dropped her kids off for the dad, and threw in the towel of her marriage. Dawn throws in the towel when things don’t go her way on the job. But everyone liked the dad as a policeman in the community? She marries a man who looks nothing close to her dad? Maybe I need some help understanding this story?🤔
We wanted a different world. What world did we get? EVENTUALLY we will learn the truth of how Art works. The battles of the Huns and Hungarian and the Brothers Khan is real.
She wanted more showing. I never cared for her character on different world. She was to much light a boy for me even though she got better in her acting.
It doesn't say she remarried after her two-year marriage to Johnny Newman ended in 2006. The person in the photo you showed looks like Danny Masterson of That 70s Show and he is currently in jail. He was also married to someone else. There is no info about her or a new husband on her instagram profile.
Does every actor have these sob stories it seems like a requirement for acting is you have to have the most depressing childhood ever and bitch about how hard women have it even though they they are in the spotlight can we get stars with happy childhoods
She always reminded me of Natalie Cole, she's not difficult, just ain't going for the industries mess, Love you Dawnn
And like Natalie, her smile BEAMS!
Never realized that until you said that but you're absolutely right
Yes & both ladies are/ were Beautiful ❤
Yes they do Resemble
Exactly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dawn is a warrior and she is intelligent and had integrity. She’s not trying to sell her soul for the spot light. You rock Ms .Lewis
Who can blame her
Beautiful Queen
She still looks good. Pretty lady! God Bless her.
Her body has always rocked!
Dawn Lewis mom was a school nurse at my child school and she was a wonderful woman. You would have never known she was abused.
wow what was her personality like
@@NevinReid-zy4ry easy spoken and no nonsense but gentle. Very kind to the children.

Dawn Lewis is so beautiful. You can see the sweet hearted person in her. She's a class act . Love you Dawn
Just goes to show you that you don't have to sell your soul 🤷🏾♂️🙌🏾
I just love A Different World, and Dawn Lewis is one of my favorite cast members… I love ‘em all.
I've always admired Dawnn Lewis as an actress and entertainer. As well, I'm delighted to see that she continues to inspire.
62 and fabulous 👏🏽👏🏽
62? She's stretching the truth...She's more like 52, born in 1972!
@@melindagraves5212 , wow 😮
Why must they lie 🧐
August 13, 1961 is her day of birth. She is 62
62 WHERE??? Dawn is & has always been gorgeous 😍 ❤️ ✨️
@@carebear67street3 , actually it's a compliment to her attractiveness.
I STILL LOVE DAWNN
I love dawn. She’s so talented.
Dawn Lewis has talent, and a bachelor’s degree! 👏🏽
OK, first of all, some of the footage of her as a child, is actually the actress from What's Happening, Danielle Spencer . PLEASE do proper and CORRECT research before you publish wrong images.
At 5:06, they showed Danielle Spencer
Then at the end she says ‘who knows what the future holds’ in reference to whether she has children, promptly followed by suggesting she’s doing well ‘at 62 years old…….’ 😅
"Difficult to work with"= Doesn't just do as she's told without questions
Sometimes, it just means what it says. Some people are justifiably difficult to work with, like Janet Hubert. It turns out that her anger was justified, but she still didn’t got in because she couldn’t coexist either Will and was jealous of him. That doesn’t mean her complaints were baseless.
I see the same with a lot of actors. Being difficult to work with and being justified aren’t mutually exclusive.
That part
I agree with what you said about being difficult to work with means just didn't do what is being told easily
ABC didn't want her on Hangin' with Mr. Cooper and replaced her with Saundra Quaterman.
@@DeCurtaRican This comment didn't age well since so many things have come out about Will Smith and his escapades. And she was blacklisted by him, that came out too
Why people acting like it's a mystery she left the show because she had another role on hanging with Mr Cooper
I think calling a Black woman “difficult” is problematic. Perhaps she didn’t want to be in spaces that didn’t suit her. Sounds like she’s doing well.
Yes!
Exactly, especially when you’re not in the same situation to know what she was actually facing. I’m sure a lot more happened that she didn’t say. It’s sad that so many of our people are so judgmental.
Speaking your mind, or even speaking truth at work = difficult
That part
I don't believe calling a black woman difficult because that cane be the case. However speculating on it without any evidence can be problematic..You cannot exclude a person in a group from being difficult because all kinds of people can be difficult. Unfortunately, society has Made some women take pride in being difficult
Why were they showing pictures of Danielle Spencer as a little girl?
I also wondered about that.
Ikr?!

Why did they show Dee from “What’s Happening?”
Right! ???
Because RUclips allows these BS channels to post ANYTHING!!!
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Smh That just messes up the whole vibe of the video.
They showed Lynn Thigpin too….
@@Lovely38373😂that's crazy
You go girl! You're doing the doggone thing! May God continue to bless you in whatever do! I'm extremely happy for you!!!🙏👑❤️🙌💯🎶🌹
Loved her in a lot of shows, God has blessed her.
I thought the show was going the wrong direction when she and the Colonel got married. I didn't like that story line. It didn't seem real.
Yeah I didn't like it. It was like they didn't know what else to do with her character
Felt the same but glad they found some type of way to keep her paid ❤
I can believe the story line.. i thought it was fine. Remember. She was the oldest one there at 26 plus 6 years so the age gap wasn.t really an issue.
@@no7114 They were forcing it.
It was gross I didn’t like it at all
Brooklyn queen DAWN LEWIS ❤
Danielle Spencer is not Dawn Lewis! How totally stupid that this error wasn't caught! If this isn't a AI production, then this is a serious error to have not caught and corrected. You went from a possible grade A+ to F-.
“…any Como/Lewises running around JUST YET”? Come on….she’s 62!!!!!
Yes! Why even include that part??? I suspect AI.🤔
I have always loved Dawnn Lewis. Just crushing like crazy
Wow! I didn’t she did all that! Congratulations 🎉
The reality is there’s a line of actors/actresses waiting for these parts so they have no problem replacing folk that get on their nerves
wow! very nice broadcast on Dawn Lewis & I luv her more. thk u for the wonderful research & presentation- one of the best & most respectful celebrity mini docs!
I didn’t realize her age until she mentioned ‘62.
I always wanted to know what happened to Dawn so glad to see that she’s doing great, I see a producer/Director in her ❤❤❤
I like that show a different world I was in love with Kim back then omg that was my chocolate delight 😍😍
Wow! She did a lot! #Respect
Whoever put this video together GOOFED and used footage of Dee on What's Happening. Is this another case of someone trying to say that black people look alike.
EyE caught that also. smh
These AI generated non cultural channels kill me
I came straight to the comments to see if anyone else realized that was Danielle Spencer
@@yvetteherod4673 Me too. Lol
As well as not writing factual information. This is unacceptable.
She played the smartest character on the show, but for some reason they started dumbing down the character.
kudos, dawn is a very intelligent woman.
Dawn was on the show until it ended. Im not understanding the sub-title. She was on the final episode after marrying the Colonel and having a baby. What are you talking about. I think you need to double check your research.
NO MY SISTER, DAWN LEFT THE SHOW AFTER WHITLEY& DWAYNE GOT MARRIED. SHE WAS NOT ON THE FINAL SEASON
Dawnn left A Different World at the end of season five, which is the same season that she was married to Colonel Taylor and had the baby. She is mentioned but never seen in season six. She let to do hangin' with Mr. Cooper. Which aired at the same time as season six of A Different World.
The set on hangin wit Cooper is the same as the set on growing pains
I always wanted the show to return and all of them become the college instructors teaching the new generation of kids ❤
Not difficult to work with… she knows her worth! So glad she is doing well!
That moment when you "62" and I almost fell out!
Beautiful woman, always loved her. Why was Danielle Dee Spencer inserted as Dawn Lewis in her story?
Love you Dawn Lewis❤😊 Keep your character and integrity.
Jaleesa👌🏾
Shade that you would imply that Dawn might be difficult to work with, seeing that she has continued to have a successful career elsewhere. Brilliant artist with a stellar performance resume.
I always love her. She is an awesome actress.
Wow, she looks great at 62, not one wrinkle! Nice!
I think she a woman that knows her WORTH!!!!
Are we not going to talk about her most iconic role in “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”
I love you dawn and your beautiful wonderful family 👪 ❤ God will continue to bless you your family and your friends and also your fans all around the world love you all stay safe ❤ 🙏
I believe Andy Comeau is married to a different Dawn Lewis.
You are right and the Real Dawn Lewis from A Different World is single today but was married to Johnny Newman. Some of these bloggers just report anything that is not true.
Dawn so Incredible she is a real boss and true humanity ❤❤❤❤
THANK GOODNESS For Grandmothers Support!
They eventually wrote Jaleesa's character worse the longer she was on the series.
She was strong and independant initially but then they ran her off the rails, especially once Sinbad left the show and they paired her with Col. Taylor.
I'm not sure what happened on Hangin' With Mr. Cooper tho. The show was better in the first season with the updated Three's Company setup.
It was similar to Three's Company,where a man lived with two women in the same household.
Difficult to work with is your opinion , knowing her worth cause she has a clear knowledge of Who she is mentally , physically and financially is better statement . She is worthy of the Greatness she has accepted. Peace & Blessings
She played a doctor briefly on Days of Our Lives around 2010-11.
I liked A Different World growing up, but the role of Captain Freeman (Star Trek Lower Decks) was made for her. I hope one day we see her live action in uniform. Hands down the best captain ever!

They don't hav all their TV Footage referencing Ms. Lewis correct. Ths seems 2 happen a lot about Women of Color...I wonder why tht is..?
I always liked her on screen to hanging with Mr cooper to a different world didn’t see her much in movies only movie I can recall was ima get you sucka a classic wish they would put her in more films and black series that’s hot right now also she played in the parent hood one episode that was really good
Thats good she did a lot 😊❤
Dawn can sing her tail off too. She was Eddie Murphy's wife in Dream Girls. Love her and Tachina Arnold's voice.
The show ruined her character. How you go from Walter to his best friend the Colonel? Weird
Walter left the show and they broke up before Walter left the show. So it wasn’t no big deal I think her and the kernel made a better couple.
Dang thanks
She was the oldest student and now look the youngest.
@6:57 Why is she displaying that hand sign?
I didnt like the direction they took Jaleesa after shr married and got pregnant.
5:09 u do know that’s NOT Dawn Lewis…smh
We don’t ALL look the same 😢
For her, at home, it was 'A Different World'
Wasn't that little girl Danielle Spencer from What's Happening?

Yes, why are they showing Dee to do a redo and check ur tape. She is still beautiful and needs to be doing more TV
I know yall didn't show Danielle Spencer, aka "Dee" from "What's Happening", as childhood Dawn Lewis???
She wanted more showing. I never cared for her character on different world. She was to much light a boy for me even though she got better in her acting.

thanks for pointing that out, we don't want to be an AA
Dawnn works it
You were beautiful 30yrs ago damm '''''''even more beautiful today ❤️
Dawn Lewis and Debbie Allen did not get along.
She is also a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.
Wow! Did she said her Dad was a cop and a church pastor What in the world?
After that wedding she was out
I find it so sad that it took all these years to find all this out if it wasn,t relevant then why is it relevant now and it was relevant.......sad!
I guess we're old & feeble minded. Dawn stayed til the end. 🙄
