When you see them side by side there is some resemblance, so we want you to take a good look at this woman and see if you can detect a lil’ bit of her Mother’s face in her’s. Scroll down to see who she is…

Who’s Her Superstar Mama?

She is the one and only Victoria Rowell a.k.a. “Drucilla Winters” from the Young and the Restless! Her daughter’s name is Maya Fahey.

“My birth daughter Maya. BLACK is many shades.”

Maya has worked with her mom as an art director for some of Victoria’s independent films, according to Victoria’s online posts.

On a side note, something’s obviously wrong with America’s “one-drop-rule,” because the fact of the matter is that Maya is truly a blend of both races- not just one. But yet, she and other biracial people are forced to claim one side so society knows where to ‘place’ them…not sure if that’s really fair to biracial citizens, but that’s a whole ‘notha topic for another day. Back to Victoria Rowell and her fam’…

Victoria Rowell Also Has A Son With A Well-Known Music Legend

In case you missed our previous article on Victoria’s other child – her son, Jasper – you may be surprised to know that his father (Victoria’s former boyfriend of many years) is a very popular music artist.

Victoria Rowell has a beautiful family, and by the way, it sure would be nice seeing “Drucilla” back on The Young and the Restless again, but from the looks of it, that ain’t happening. She’s made public claims that CBS’s execs racially discriminate against people of color. After spending seventeen years on Y&R (from 1990-2007), Victoria quit the show because she was fed up with the alleged lack of racial diversity behind the scenes of the show.

In 2014, Rowell took to Twitter to voice her opinion, saying “Young & Restless on air for 40 years, loyally watched by their absolute competitive-edge audience (blacks) & not one black Exec producer?” She filed a lawsuit against the Young and the Restless in February 2015 for that very reason, so we’ll sit back and see what the outcome of that is. Check out the video below to see how Victoria went all the way off on the alleged racism she says she experienced on CBS:

Remember Victoria Rowell, the actress who played “Drucilla Winters” on The Young & The Restless? Well, one thing many don’t know is that she has a child with a very well known music artist, whose been in the game for decades. In fact, he comes from a very well known family and they dated for years, but never married.

MEET THE FAMOUS FATHER OF HER SON

Victoria’s ex and father of her child is none other than Wynton Marsalis, the famous 9 time Grammy winning jazz musician.

You may have heard of him, he’s a member of the infamous Marsalis family– the jazz family consisting of Wynton’s Dad, Ellis Marsalis Jr.; and his brothers, Branford, Delfeayo, and Jason Marsalis. Wynton’s grandfather was also a jazz a musician who started it all for their family’s path, he’s the late Ellis Marsalis Sr.

MEET THEIR SON

Victoria and Wynton have a son named Jasper Marsalis, who looks a lot like his Pops. Jasper is a 25 year old graduate of CooperUnion/ Advancement Science & Art. Like his parents, he is a creative person with a bubbling career as a rap artists and musician. Jasper’s stage name is Slauson Malone. Peep an example of his work below…

Wynton Marsalis and Victoria Rowell were previously in a seven year relationship. Although the relationship ended several years ago, they’ve seemingly maintained a great friendship for the sake of co-parenting their son throughout the years.

VICTORIA ROWELL’S PRIOR RELATIONSHIPS & RUMORS

Victoria moved on and was once rumored to be dating rapper, 50 Cent, around 2007, but that was never confirmed. The only thing that they did confirm was that they were great friends, with Victoria reportedly revealing in a prior radio interview, that she’s cooked breakfast for 50 Cent before…hmmmm.

Anywho, after the ’50 Cent rumor,’ Victoria tied the knot with Atlanta artist, Radcliffe Bailey, in 2009. Unfortunately, they divorced in 2014, and had no children together, so their divorce was pretty simple. The only thing they allegedly requested of each other in the divorce settlement, is that neither one of them bothers, nor harasses the other, which was a lil’ weird, but at least it was amicable.

WHAT VICTORIA ROWELL IS DOING NOW ACTING

So, what is Victoria Rowell doing nowadays? For starters, homegirl is aging gracefully at 61 years young.

She’s an advocate for equal rights/equal opportunity for African Americans within the entertainment world. She even filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against CBS (the home of The Young & The Restless) in February 2015.

In a prior series of tweets, Victoria threw shade at the entertainment industry for not having enough African-Americans in higher ranking, decision making positions. “Young & Restless on air for 40 years, loyally watched by their absolute competitive-edge audience (blacks) & not one black Exec producer?,” she tweeted.

These days she’s is still doing what she does best- acting, producing, writing, and directing various projects, including her own, “The Rich and The Ruthless”…

The legendary Wynton Marsalis is doing what he, too, does best – making his trumpet sing a beautiful song for audiences worldwide.

As for their son, Jasper Marsalis a.k.a. Slauson Malone, we’re looking forward to seeing all that the future holds for him and his artistry.

Their requests were a lil’ weird, but at least it was amicable.

Here’s an interesting bit of info about Radcliffe’s and Victoria’s wedding- actor, Samuel Jackson, walked Victoria down the isle! I guess she sees him as a big brother or father figure, so that probably was an honor for Jackson to do. Y’all know Samuel Jackson has a tendency to let more than a few curse words slip out every now and then, but we’re pretty sure he behaved himself at the wedding.

Here’s a very random Old School fun fact about Victoria: She wasn’t always an actress, she actually was a ballet dancer, but she’s stated that she could never go as far as her ballet friends were able to go at that time, because she is Black.

So, what’s she doing nowadays? One thing she’s doing is aging gracefully: Victoria’s 59 years old now and she’s just as beautiful as ever.

She’s an advocate for equal rights/equal opportunity for African Americans within our society and within the entertainment world. She actually filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against CBS (the home of The Young & The Restless) in February 2015.

Victoria finally got frustrated with the lack of racial diversity behind the scenes. In a prior series of tweets, she threw shade at the entertainment industry for not having enough African-Americans in higher ranking, decision making positions. “Young & Restless on air for 40 years, loyally watched by their absolute competitive-edge audience (blacks) & not one black Exec producer?,” she tweeted.

Thankfully, Victoria is still doing what she does best- acting.

You can catch her in several independent films, including the Netflix movie, “November Rule.” The film was produced by Queen Latifah and also stars singer, Macy Gray; actresses Tatyana Ali (of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), LaLa Anthony and more.

From there, she went on to star in the CBS medical crime drama Diagnosis: Murder and appeared on both shows, simultaneously, for more than 8 years. But like most celebrities, there’s more than what meets the eye with Victoria Rowell. Behind closed doors, she does have a personal life, and many fans may not know but life wasn’t a walk in the part for Victoria. She comes from humble beginnings.

When Rowell appeared on Oprah Winfrey: Where Are They Now, she shared details about her life behind closed doors. For those who don’t know, Rowell documented her early life in her book The Women Who Raised Me. During a recent interview, she discussed how she was raised in foster care. “I was never meant to be raised by one mother, but by many,” said Rowell. Check out the video:

On a number of occasions, she’s also spoken publicly about her divorce.

But through it all, she’s managed to persevere. Along the way, she’s met many influential people who have impacted her life and there’s one person in particular, who changed her life. While many people aren’t a fan of Bill Cosby, right now, Victoria Rowell has a great reason to pay homage to the Cosby Show star. She’s revealed Bill was the reason she landed her debut role. Cosby was so impressed with Rowell’s audition, he cast her as his daughter in the film. From that point on, she continued to reach new heights.
