What the Heck Happened To You? What Lost Celebs Look Like Nowadays

Jasmine Guy

Whitley Gilbert is by far one of the most important black TV characters I’ve ever seen. She was funny, fashionable and so over-the-top funny that Jasmine Guy’s character saved a show that could have been a big, boring mess (sorry Lisa Bonet). And even though A Different World is worlds away now, she’s managed to stay very busy acting wise, doing guest appearances on TV shows and TV movies ALMOST every year since 1986. But she must have shown up on a series that I wasn’t watching because I was too shocked to see how she appeared in the straight-to-DVD film, The Heart Specialist, which is from a few year’s back. At 49 years of age, I’m surprised to see Guy looking almost five to 10 years older than that. Rumors have swirled that Guy has Lupus (though I haven’t seen any direct quotes from her confirming or denying that), so if it’s true, that could definitely play a part in her current appearance. But only she knows for sure. No matter what, Jasmine is still beautiful though!
