Actress Bianca Lawson has been playing a high school character for decades, and to know that she is actually 44 is inspiring to learn today! From a vampire on Buffy The Vampire Slayer to a mean girl on Save The Last Dance, she’s played every role of a teenage girl that has shaped Black teens around the world. The Queen Sugar actress has always shown out on the red carpet and on-screen with a fashion sense that has been emulated since the 90s. She’s also Beyoncé and Solange’s stepsister as Mama Knowles has married her actor father, Richard Lawson.
Take a look at how she’s never aged past 17.
