This Is What Happened to Kim Wayans After 'In Living Color'

Kim Wayans is most famously known for the diverse characters she played on In Living Color - the sketch comedy program that was developed by her brothers, Keenen and Damon. She left the show in 1993, and while several of her co-stars have gone on to have booming careers, Kim has kept a very low profile.
