The Resume

    (July 13, 1948- )
    Born in New York, New York
    Birth name is Daphne Etta Maxwell
    Married to Tim Reid
    Portrayed Vivian Banks on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1993-96)

Why she might be annoying:

    Her and her husband's syndicated talk show lasted only a year.
    She replaced Janet Hubert-Whitten as Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince, angering fans who disliked how the change was executed.
    Fans have complained that her version of Aunt Viv was far too docile and submissive (that she was noticeably lighter-skinned than the original Viv didn't help much - leading to accusations of colorism on the show).
    She refused to shake Donald Trump's hand during his Fresh Prince cameo.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was the first black woman to be on the cover of Glamour magazine.
    She is an accomplished photographer and clothing designer.
    She guested on both her husband's signature shows - WKRP in Cincinnati and Sister, Sister.
    She is a recipient of the Women of Vision Award from Women in Film & Video.
    She and Tim Reid moved to Virginia and formed their own production studio called Millennium Studios, the first such studio to be built there.
    She was granted the opportunity to clear the air with Janet Hubert about replacing her during the Fresh Prince Reunion in 2020 - even jokingly saying 'thank you for not coming back, so I could have a job!'
