4771 Tangi Miller

Tangi Miller stars in and produced Love and Other Four Letter Words. She plays workaholic television host and producer Stormy LaRue, who tells her dying grandmother the lie she is getting married. Her grandmother miraculously recovers, forcing Stormy to fake an engagement and wedding. Miller hopes the film reminds women love is not something you wait for to land on your doorstep.

“If love is something you want, you definitely need to make it a priority in your life early,” she says.

5011 Tangi Miller Tasha Smith Sandy Brown

Stormy’s meddlesome and jealous cousins Lucille (Tasha Smith) and Frieda (Sandy Brown) can’t wait to tell her they saw her hired groom working at the strip club.

“You keep [haters] close enough not to kill you but close enough so you know what they are up to. Sometimes they happen to be family so they aren’t going anywhere anyway,” Tangi Miller says. “It’s a very human thing to be jealous. You just pray on it and pray for that person and wish blessings on their lives.”
