My sentiments exactly!! Come on Will and Jada…get through this and be an example of reconciliation!!!
“Will and Jada are the closest thing my generation will have to an Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.”
While there is a lot of (potential) truth in that statement, may I humbly submit – Courtney B. Vance and Angela Bassett
D. I would submit that Courtney B. Vance has never had the profile his wife had and has never been a leading man. Therein lay the difference. There are plenty of Black thespian couples.
Here’s another example – Laurence Fishburne and Gina Torres. I would make the same argument in the other direction. Gina Torres is not and has not been to this point a leading lady or a character actress of great acclaim.
While I wholly respect Vance’s work, he has been a career character actor, and I mean that with great respect. I can’t think of anything in which he has actually starred, except as a member of an ensemble cast in a recurring role. Such is the case with him on Law & Order and The Closer.
Courtney B. Vance had a leading role in the Preacher’s Wife with Denzel, also had the leading role in Love and Action in Chicago with Regina King.
I am not sure if that strengthens your argument or weakens it given the relative obscurity of The Preacher’s Wife and how long ago that was.
If anything Whitney and Denzel were the stars of that movie not Courtney. He surely did not receive top billing.
