She only starred on the first season as Denise and Jalessa’s roommate, but her character of Maggie Lauten was pretty important as one of the few non-blacks at Hillman. In the end, she probably blew up the biggest of the cast of the show, winning an Oscar for her work in My Cousin Vinny, In the Bedroom, and most recently, in The Ides of March.
