Shari Belafonte was the younger daughter of famous singer Harry Belafonte, while her mother is Margeurite (Byrd) Belafonte, a psychologist. She received her education primarily in Massachusetts, where she finished Buxton School and attended Hampshire College, before she transferred to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, from where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in drama.
Belafonte entered the entertainment industry as a model first, posing as a cover girl for numerous magazines, and also appearing in Calvin Klein jeans commercials. She continued modeling throughout the first stages of her acting career, and her face has graced as many as 300 magazine covers. Shari made her acting debut on the anthology television series “ABC Weekend Specials” (1979), which was followed by a couple of guest-starring television roles, such as in “The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo” (1981) and “Trapper John, M.D.” (1982). In 1982, she also landed two big-screen roles, joining the cast of the biopic “If You Could See What I Hear”, about the blind musician Tom Sullivan, and sci-fi horror film “Time Walker”, with Ben Murphy and Nina Axelrod – her net worth was well established.
Consequently, Shari was almost cast in the hit TV series “Charlie’s Angels”, as a replacement for Kate Jackson, but in the end it fell through. However, Aaron Spelling had her in mind when making his next show, the prime time drama series “Hotel”, in which she starred as Julie Gillette from 1983 to 1988. Her next starring role was that of Dr. Laura Wingate in the drama series “Beyond Reality” (1991-1993), and around this time she also ventured into voice acting, being heard in thirteen episodes of the animated family comedy “Gravedale High” (1990) as the voice of Blanche. She continued her run as a voice actress in 1994, when she joined the animated action adventure series “Sonic the Hedgehog” as Lupe, and later had the recurring role in “Hey, Arnold!” (1996-1997), where she lent her voice to Mrs. Johanssen. In the following years, she appeared mostly as a guest-star in television series such as “Nip/Tuck” (2008) and “Miami Medical” (2009), before replacing the regular cast member Saidah Arrika Ekulona as Mayor Janice Lomax in the medical drama “General Hospital” (2016 – present). She also has an upcoming project scheduled for release in 2017, a comedy called “Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk”.
Shari is also a prolific photographer, working on still photography in films such as “The Big Empty” (2003), and she tried her luck in music too, releasing two albums, “The Eyes of Night” (1987) and “Shari” (1989) in Europe, with minimal success.
Regarding her personal life, Shari’s first marriage was to Robert Harper (1977-88), and she has been married to her second husband, actor Sam Behrens, since 1989.

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.

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).

Stacy also has a son fathered by R&B singer Christopher Williams, and a daughter (born 2003). She is very open about her political views and often uses Twitter to criticise certain public figures. Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
