To begin with, she was raised in Montgomery, with six siblings. Spencer matriculated from Jefferson Davis High School in 1988, and afterwards studied at Auburn Montgomery majoring in theatre (1988-1989), and graduating with a BA degree in Liberal Arts.
Talking about her professional career, Spencer appeared as an intern in “September of The Long Walk Home” (1986), a movie starring Whoopi Goldberg, then as a nurse in Joel Schumacher’s “A Time to Kill” (1996), based on the book by John Grisham. Other film credits include “Never Been Kissed” (1999), “Big Momma’s House” (2000), “Bad Santa” (2003), “Coach Carter” (2005) among others. She made a number of appearances in television series, including “Malcolm in the Middle” (2000) “The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman” (2006), however, she attracted the attention of critics landing the lead roles as Serenity Johnson in “Halfway Home” (2007), and Constance Grady in “Ugly Betty” (2007). In 2008, she starred alongside Allison Janney in the highly praised short film entitled “Tate Taylor’s”. In 2008, a brief appearance in “Seven Pounds” as Kate, the nurse, earned her many accolades, so much so that in 2009, Entertainment Weekly published a list of the 25 funniest Hollywood actresses, and Spencer was in the list. In 2009, she appeared in “Halloween II” and “Love at First Time”, then later that year, Spencer’s short film “The Captain” was honoured by CICFF as a finalist for the REEL Poetry Prize. All these projects added to her net worth.
In 2010, Spencer joined Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Bryce Dallas Howard in the production of “The Help”, in which she played the feisty and unflappable domestic Minny Jackson, directed by Tate Taylor and produced by Brunson Green, Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe, a role which earned Spencer critical acclaim, amid rumours indicating that the actress would receive multiple nominations, and eventually she won thirteen awards in the category of the Best Supporting actress including the prestigious Golden Globe Award, NAACP, BAFTA and the Academy Award. Spencer was so thrilled when she won the Oscar that she could barely speak as she was moved to tears and received a standing ovation. This did her net worth no harm at all!
In 2012, Spencer was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2013, she appeared alongside Michael B. Jordan in “Fruitvale Station”, a film that chronicles the last day of Oscar Grant, who was killed by police at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in 2009. For the role of Wanda she won National Board of Review Award for the Best Supporting Actress. Recently, she appeared in the films “Black or White” (2015) winning African-American Film Critics Association Award for the Best Supporting Actress, “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” (2015), “The Divergent Series: Allegiant” (2016) and “The Free World” (2016). In addition to this, she landed the main role in the series “Red Band Society” (2015) and recurring role in “Mom” (2013 – present). Currently, she is working on the set of upcoming films “The Shack”, “Gifted” and “Hidden Figures” which are going to be released soon.
Finally, in the personal life of the actress, she is still single, says that she would settle for one healthy child, and dates regularly but so far not seriously.

After this performance, Karyn Parsons had numerous roles in movies and TV shows. Many viewers also know Karyn Parsons as an actress from “Lush Life” – she not only appeared in it, but was also the co-producer, co-writer and co-creator of the show. However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.
She has starred in movies such as “Major Payne”, “Late Nights” and “The Ladies Man”, but her last notable appearance on screen was in 2002. Audiences saw Karyn as Lily in the comedy-drama film called “13 Moons” and since then the actress has appeared only a few times on TV.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million
Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).
