Where Are They Now? The Cast of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”

The Aunties

You know you were wondering where they all were, so here’s the rundown real quick:

Vernee Watson-Johnson

Vernee was Aunt Vy, Will’s headstrong and independent mother in Philly. Not only do I remember her feisty attitude, but I also remember when she slept with Lisa’s father (once again: “MAMA NOOOOOOOOOOOO!”). After her time on the show, aside from the movie Antwone Fisher, she’s done a lot of TV work, including “Sister, Sister” as Lisa’s best friend, “Dexter,” “ER,” and most recently, “Reed Between the Lines” and “The Big Bang Theory.” Random fact, she was also a witness for the defense in Michael Jackson’s second child molestation case in 2005.

Jenifer Lewis

Lewis, who always plays someone’s mother on all things TV and movie, somehow got away with being Aunt Helen on the show. Funny and crazy as usual, she made her appearances on the show very memorable. Afterwards, she kept making that money, doing films like Girl 6, The Preacher’s Wife, The Brothers, and most recently, Think Like a Man. She’s also done a lot of TV work, including the TV movie “The Temptations,” Girlfriends,” “The PJs,” and “Strong Medicine.”

Charlayne Woodard

As Aunt Janice, the white man marrying (which Aunt Vy was pissed about) youngest sister, Woodard was only on the show occasionally from 1990-1993. Afterwards, she was in The Crucible, and recently in a film called Things Never Said. She was also Gail Devers in the TV movie based on her life, in “Lackawanna Blues,” and guest starred on “ER.” She’s had a recurring role on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Sister Peg and most recently starred in a one-woman play called “The Night Watcher.”
