To begin with, the girl was raised in Wales, but as her father served in Royal Air Force, the family moved from place to place, so the girl was educated at Caistor Grammar School, Spence School and the independent St. Dunstan’s Abbey School in Plymouth. Later, she graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she met Jennifer Saunders, and both joined the collective which would become the leading cabaret of their generation.

Concerning her professional career, French started as a member of The Comic Strip, a merger of comedians which was a part of the alternative comedy scene in England in the early 1980s. In 1987, French and Jennifer Saunders launched the British TV comedy series “French & Saunders” (1987 – 2007), which clearly became extremely popular with the audience.

Together with Jennifer Saunders, she contributed almost every year with new sketches for the shows in England. She has also been represented in various music projects in this context, among others in a charity version of the Beatles “Help!”, French and Saunders as Lananeeneenoonoo sang together with the pop group Bananarama.

French also plays successfully in theatre, and is now and again seen in films. For example, she played the Fat Lady in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (2004). Her voice is also still known as a synchron spreader in series like “Watership Down” (2000). In 2005, the viewers could hear her voice in the original version of the film “The Chronicles of Narnia: The King of Narnia” in which she voiced Mrs. Beaver. In early 2006, Dawn French, together with Alison Moyet and June Watson, appeared in the black comedy “Smaller”, which had great success not only in the London Lyric Theatre, but also in other British cities. From 1994 to 2007, she played the title role in the British TV comedy sitcom “The Vicar of Dibley”, again to a large audience, then in 2008 she did something completely different and played the Duchess of Crackentorp in Gaetano Donizetti’s opera “La Fille du Regiment” at the Royal Opera House in London.

More recently, in 2016 Dawn worked as an executive producer of the film “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie”, in which she also appeared as the Interviewer. Since 2016, she is starring in the drama series “Delicious” in the role of Gina; more, she is the presenter of the talent show “Little Big Shots” (2017 – present).

Finally, in the personal life of the actress-comedian, in 1980s she met her future husband, stand-up comedian Lenny Henry, with whom she was married from 1984 until 2010 and adopted a daughter. In 2013, she married charity worker Mark Bignell; they are based in Fowey, Cornwall England.

Karyn’s next appearance on the TV screen was in 1988, when she played Lynette from “CBS Summer Playhouse” in the episode entitled “Roughhouse”, but her real big break was came in 1990, when the actress had the opportunity to play Will Smith‘s cousin “Hilary Banks” in the NBC sitcom called “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. After this performance, Karyn Parsons had numerous roles in movies and TV shows. Many viewers also know Karyn Parsons as an actress from “Lush Life” – she not only appeared in it, but was also the co-producer, co-writer and co-creator of the show. However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.

She has starred in movies such as “Major Payne”, “Late Nights” and “The Ladies Man”, but her last notable appearance on screen was in 2002. Audiences saw Karyn as Lily in the comedy-drama film called “13 Moons” and since then the actress has appeared only a few times on TV.

In her personal life, Karyn Parson’s first husband was Randy Brooks, an American film and TV actor, most known for his role in the film called “Reservoir Dogs”, who is also well known in the soap opera community because of “The Young and the Restless”.

Stacey Dash Net Worth

Published

on

Stacey Lauretta Dash was born on 20 January 1967, in The Bronx, New York City USA, of Barbadian, Mexican and Afro-American descent. Stacey Dash is an actress in movies and on TV, perhaps best known for her parts in the TV series “The Cosby Show“ in the 1980s, and more recently “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.

So just how rich is Stacey Dash? Stacy is now relatively comfortable with an estimated worth of $10 million, which wealth she has earned by starring in numerous movies and TV shows during a career in the entertainment industry spanning more than 30 years.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses  Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.

Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in  which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.

Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.

In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06). She married Emmanuel Xuereb in 2007, but divorced him in 2010 and asked for restraining order against him, claiming physical abuse. Stacy also has a son fathered by R&B singer Christopher Williams, and a daughter (born 2003). She is very open about her political views and often uses Twitter to criticise certain public figures. Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
