In the biopic Notorious, the actress, 50, plays the Notorious B.I.G.'s tough-loving mother. But in real life she spoils her 3-year-old twins Bronwyn and Slater.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM B.I.G.'S MOM, VOLETTA? Unconditional love and unconditional expectations. She didn't let bad behavior slide, but there was nothing she wouldn't do for him.
HOW ARE THE TWINS? DID YOU SURVIVE THE TERRIBLE TWOS? I called them the terrible one-and-a-halfs! My husband [Courtney B. Vance] thinks I can get better at being more strict. I'm more the spoiler, giving them candy and toys.
DID YOU ENJOY WORKING WITH COURTNEY ON ER? It's interesting being intimate with your husband in front of a crew. Makes you shy—but you have to get through it!
