Erika Alexander as Maxine Shaw on “Living Single”
Maxine Shaw was by far my favorite character on “Living Single.” The perfect example of that good friend you have and love who walks into your home, straight to the fridge, and eats all your food with no shame.

She’s primarily the sidekick homie in this ensemble cast because she was the only “Living Single” girlfriend not living in Khadijah’s brownstone, but her presence was always felt. Probably because she was always there…
