Remember the original Aunt Viv from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”? Well, Janet Hubert, who portrayed that character is talking about her turbulent times on the popular sitcom that launced Will Smith to stardom.
Actress Janet Hubert
According to Janet, she was black-balled in Hollywood after she claims Will had her fired from the show. Although Mr. Smith was clearly the star, I always thought the actress was an elegant, natural beauty, and missed her when she left.
Twenty years later Hubert is releasing a tell-all entitled Perfection Is Not a Sitcom Mom. On her website, Hubert says the book details the “20 year journey, in my life as a sitcom mom and real mom. Complete with never told stories about life on the set of the Fresh Prince, to real life drama of what fame can and cannot bring.” Too bad we’ll have to wait until 20 10 to read all about it.
