You've dazzled us since your unforgettable role as Shug Avery in "The Color Purple," bringing sass, strength, and soulful swagger that still lights up screens today. Your timeless charm—whether singing heartily at Harpo's juke joint or sharing wisdom with Celie—has left an indelible mark on cinema history.From Broadway stages to Hollywood spotlights, you've gracefully conquered hearts—and roles—with style that never fades. Each performance you deliver reminds us getting older is just leveling-up in elegance and good humor.
