Marisa Tomei talks ‘Upgraded,’ looks back at ‘A Different World’

[@nomadicolours]

A Different World "one of the best shows" that never for any recognition, no nominations, no awards. WOW!

[@osaji922]

It was snubbed. It was a groundbreaking show that touched on serious issues of the day but was constantly snubbed.

[@AGoogleUser-h2r]

Marisa, she is and always will be a shining light. Such a genuine human. A huge ❤️. She still looks great!

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

You STILL look great too.

[@ninajohnson8389]

She's stunning

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

I live Marisa T.. She’s always so pretty, funny, and seems sincere/ genuine!

[@janebilleter5299]

So refreshing to see a woman grow older gracefully without plastic surgery....she looks stunning and is one of the most talented actresses around!!!!!

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Did you actually listen to anything that she said?

[@SariahSavvyTips]

Are you sure about that? I really liked her character on A Different World & she seems to have had a successful acting career.

[@davidbanner9344]

Marisa sure is aging well, still so Gorgeous, Beautiful!

What a lot of people don't remember about her is that she started out in the soap As The World Turns with Meg Ryan and Juliann Moore

How does Marisa Tomei not look a day older than when she did, "My Cousin Vinny"? She's just plain "adorable."

[@TempeSoldier123]

Clean living and money.

[@JohnDenver-hf6is]

I first saw her in the movie, Untamed Heart. I fell in love instantly. I'm 57

[@jdog34505]

Too bad she didn’t stay on that show …Debbie Allen had big plans for her character when she took over!

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@jdog34505 Ditto for Lisa Bonet who became pregnant and was fired because of the fact!👶🤰👩‍🍼🤔

[@osaji922]

She did? Did she say what those plans were?

[@JuanReyes-vv9tp]

Marisa is a national treasure. She is also beautiful in the inside. I was lucky enough to have met her way back in the day when I Dj'd at a small little spot called bOb's. Lower East Side NYC* She became a regular on my nights, mainly because she loves old school salsa music, and that was pretty much my forte back then. It's been awesome to see her flourish and age like pure fine wine. I look forward to seeing her bleeping movie 🥰

[@WilliamBonney-gl2qf]

I've been crushing on Marisa since playing Maggie on A Different World ❤ Beautiful then,beautiful now

[@chrisbullock6477]

Weird she wasn't with the other members of A Different World when they had a reunion just a week or two ago. But comes up here and its a second mention because she knows people will be wondering. Most of the 30 and under crowd have no clue but they gave her a start.

[@osaji922]

They only do the cast that was there after season 1 for reunions. The show was retooled after season 1 to make it better and have a more authentic HBCU feel.

[@leftovers2go198]

Childhood Crush Marissa Tomei - still beautiful as always

[@vsanchez7158]

One of my favorite actresses ❤️ I am also a great parallel parker😂😂😂😂

[@MARSHAJAN1983]

Omg that's crazy...I didn't realize that she was Maggie on A Different World. To be honest I liked the show after Lisa Bonet left 😅

She should have won another Oscar for In the Bedroom. She is just too real.

[@fabianmusefano6402]

Marisa Tomei will always be my favourite expert witness.

[@jad8123]

I watched her even before A Different World. I had a crush on her when she was ATWT. She was super cute, had dark short hair, tan and skinny. What can I say I was a teenager and I thought she was hot. In checking now, I see that we are the same age so it all lines up. Julianne Moore was also on at the same time. Pretty crazy.

[@Godzillajeff]

I worked at NYUCD with her Aunt, Brunette Dadi, in the 90s!!!!!!!!!!! Hello, Brunette, Jeff from Student Affairs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

[@pefranel]

Encantadora.

Definition of gracefully aging.

Which one is Hoda and which one is Jenna?

[@lindaprice7670]

She's still beautiful but this interview may be awkward since she was fired from a different world because they wanted it to mirror an HBCU

[@KennethFitzgibbon-t6r]

Fell in love with her on my cousin Vinny. She was so perky played that role to a T. I wish I had some pictures of her when she was 20 or 25.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

"A Different World" is one of the most underrated shows. However, season 1 (which had Marisa Tomei) was awful, the show took off once Lisa Bonet and Marisa left the show while Dwayne and Whitley became the central characters. and it was never really explained why Marisa's character was going to an HBCU anyway. though you can tell part of her characters traits were given to Freddie Brooks

[@unmistakablym.3544]

It wasn't unusual for whites to have attended HBCUs, waaay before (and during) A Different World aired.

[@chewy98ta28]

How did Jenna Bush get that job? She doesn't have a TV face at all and is built like her grandmother.

[@southamcaballero]

I think her accent in the movie is Italian. She really wasn't on A Different World for that long, so not sure what the point of that was

[@defrank1870]

I'm upset she wasn't with the cast for their reunion. Disappointing.
