    Her work in bringing us A Different World changed the trajectory of thousands of black people. This woman is iconic.

      Yes!! That and the Cosby show is what started the sharp upward climb of black America. But I will stand 10 toes down that it was the popularization of gangsta rap that that brought everything back down. All of a sudden it was cool to be a criminal and have nothing. I was there and watched it happen.

      She didn't bring us a different world, she became apart of that show and changed it for the better as Director/ Producer but she did bring us Fame....

    I Love Debbie Allen……!!!!
    I have followed her through the years…. To see her dance is amazing. Back in the day when she did the commercials for hair products,she would dance and kick high her heels - she was and is FLAWLESS. The video I Love her in is with Sylvester. She descends down those steps like no other. The video includes Aunt Viv ( fresh Prince of Belair) Norm Nixon( husband) Jasmine Guy (Whitley) and the one and only Sylvester.!!!!!!! That video brings back memories.
    Yassssssszzzzzzzzzzzzz Ms. Debbie Allen - you’re a legend.
    The video is Someone Like you.

    Only one person can win Idol, but the true stars always shine bright. The only part that gave me pause was Simon (who has since recanted, but goes to show you that what God has for you, is for you) telling her she was limited to cruise singer.
    Debbie is a living legend. It's incredible to have witnessed her career from dancer/choreographer/actress to TV Executive Producer/Director.

    hey debbie...go look at that tamron hall video with this supposed stylist leaving Beyonce to find his pursuit of happiness.
    then read the comments and gossip amongst saddened reality.
    this is strictly for J.Hud and her community.
    see you later
