ILOSM fam,’ make some noise if you remember actress, Dawnn Lewis? We mainly have throwback memories of her from her role as “Jaleesa Vinson”- the ‘mature, responsible’ college student on A Different World. As we watched her do her thing on the show every week -from 1987 up until A Different World’s fifth season- her character suddenly disappeared without explanation, when she eloped with “Colonel Bradford Taylor” (played by Glenn Turman).

“Jaleesa’s” 1992 disappearance was actually due to the much fatter check Dawnn was offered to star in the Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, where she played “Robin Dumars,” alongside actors, Mark Curry and Holly Robinson-Peete. Dawnn was no dummy, so she did what she had to do for her financial well being and said ‘Peace out’ to Bill Cosby’s Different World creation.

Fast forward to the years that followed up until now, and many have not seen Dawnn Lewis much on television, nor big screen, with the exception of a few appearances on various TV shows and films, like I’m Gonna Git You Sucka back in the day. But y’all have gots to see her now though…and what she’s been up to…
