Well said, Dennis.

Quite the opposite of Hillary Banks haha. She’s gorgeous :)

Right no plastic surgery damn she is really gorgeous

[@riachhabra2049]

ABSOLUTELY AGREED

[@supersomebody101]

She kept that hairstyle all these years

[@bacon69044]

And so will it be ever...hopefully lol

[@TheReesew1974]

And now almost every female has it.

Terence Washington calling women “females” is pretty damn disrespectful and primitive.

@@buckbumble calm down wtf

[@SeboHyatt]

@@buckbumble But if you're talking to a woman and call her woman then she'll be mad.....It's clearly a lose/lose situation. Why don't women just start using more names for men the way men doing when speaking about women?

You got issue

[@bleau9584]

It's so amazing how after all of those years she has the exact same mannerisms and facial expressions. Honestly such an iconic figure love her 😂 😍✨

[@NewCreationInChrist896]

She played the Hilary role very well, what could have been annoying was very charming & funny.

[@VocallyYours3]

I love the way she speaks!!

[@RapFanatic4ever]

She sounds more intelligent then Hillary

[@ClutchFirst]

What a beautiful lady! She comes off very graceful and well spoken. That's always a plus in my book.

[@CJTranceAddiction]

Man, she was so hot on Fresh Prince. Loved her character. I'm currently binging on the show now. She still looks good!

[@senorfrijol3713]

She was my favorite character.... she played it perfectly and that part was made for her!!!! God I’m going back in time...

[@jackwolf78]

It's so great to see an audition story like hers that DOES NOT involve sexual harassment or assault.

[@Big-guy1981]

Sure. It was consensual

[@AlanaGurl]

She still looks great, and she has a daughter that’s just as beautiful. Glad to see her still thriving. ❤️

Actually it was three.

[@TheRealToyoBaby]

verbatimmags anyone who watched the actual show instead of youtube compilations would know she would usually ask for 300 and sometimes switch it up and ask for 500

[@PhilippeSHOCKMatthews]

Love Karyn Parsons, she is the real deal. Great heart and spirit! Thanks for interviewing her Vlad!

[@carmen9912]

3:36 when she said: ‘you can?’ She looks and sounds exactly as in The show

[@sajmeister]

Wow she looks great and still looking the same, one of those that never seem to age. She's very talented as an actress cos here you can see she's a smart, well spoken and very personable woman but then she played a character that was just... Kardashian like before the Kardashians. Glad to see her here doing well.

[@Mychannel20243]

The comments section is so disrespectful. Whatever happened to just saying a woman is beautiful?

[@anglejohnson3857]

agreed

[@ruthsrants8308]

Britt A vlads core audience...

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

Well this is a channel dedicated to hip hop, where a vast majority of the music videos and lyrics involve scantily clad women at pool parties who are likely prositutes, "bitches and hoes", pimps and various other sexual themes. You generally don't hear people in rap music write Shakespearean style sonnets full of nice words, you generally hear "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks" and "Bitch please! Get down on your motherfucking knees" etc

[@dts1813]

It’s because everyone is a trifling hoe nowadays.

[@KirbyPwnz13]

Because feminist told us not to objectify women

‘Daddy can I have 300 dollars? I need a new outfit for this interview.’

She was already 24 when she got the role and Janet Hubert who played her mom was only 10 years older than her. Both of them can still get it.

[@QuadrantBottomHalf]

Practice makes perfect.

[@anglejohnson3857]

she was not no 24 karyn was born in the 70s 1971 (i thought) and fresh prince started in 1991 so she was like 19? i thought?

[@QuadrantBottomHalf]

Nope. I looked it up.She was born in 1966. She'll be 51 in October. Essence Atkins was 25 when she started smart guy. Sometimes actors play older or younger characters than they're actual age and vice versa.

hey she was not on that movie wrong actress
