Posted On : May 13, 2021

Remember the lil’ girl who played “Raj” and “Nadine’s” adopted daughter on “What’s Happening Now?” If not, let us refresh your memory real quick: She played “Carolyn,” an orphan who was left behind at the bar by a woman as payment for the lunch they’d ate. “Shirley” and “Raj” didn’t know what to do until “Nadine” convinced “Raj” to take let her stay with them for the weekend, which then led to their decision to adopt her. Now that we took that trip down memory lane, we wanna show y’all what lil’ “Carolyn” looks like all grown up….

CHECK OUT WHAT “CAROLYN” LOOKS LIKE NOW

Reina King now

“Little Carolyn” is now 46 years old and living life outside of the spotlight. She stepped away from  being in front of the Hollywood’s cameras around 1998, after starring in a few other projects such as “Maid To Order” (1988), “Scrooged” (1988), but she has put on her producer hat in more recent years for a documentary titled “Side by Side: The Story of the 50/50 Group of Sierra Leone” (2007) and for a comedy called “Busted (2009). Her VERY FAMOUS SISTER is still in the acting game and wait until you see who her big sister is below…

Yep, you’re seeing this right, legendary actress Regina King (50) is the big sister to Reina King. They’re four years apart and both started in the acting game young. Reina even starred in one episode of her sister’s show, “227,” back in the day. Reina and Regina are very close to this day and can sometimes be seen out and about at events. Regina refers to her as the “bestess” sister.

All these years have passed and we never realized they were sisters. But they clearly look alike. The things we learn around here.
