\n\tAt an age when many are winding down or retiring all together, Phylicia Rashad is working more than ever. Her last year was especially busy, and not just for a woman closing in on her 80s. As a director, she made her Broadway debut with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Branden Jacobs Jenkins\u2019\u00a0Purpose<\/em>\u00a0starring LaTanya Richardson, Harry Lennix and Kara Young, who won her second Tony for it.\u00a0Purpose\u00a0<\/em>also won the Tony for best play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn screen, she starred in the faith-based Netflix film\u00a0Ruth & Boaz<\/em>\u00a0produced by Tyler Perry and Devon Franklin, schooled as the dignified old-school grandmother Renee on\u00a0The Chi<\/em>\u00a0and engaged in verbal fisticuffs with Audra McDonald\u2019s Mrs. Dorothy Scott as the formidable Mrs. Elizabeth Kirkland in season three of the multiple Emmy-nominated\u00a0The Gilded Age<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, she also touched down in Atlanta to film her part in the second season of the unorthodox whodunit series\u00a0Diarra from Detroit<\/em>, reprising her 2024 role as Vonda Brooks, a mother whose son Deonte went missing from a mall visit after she looked away briefly. Diarra puts her natural investigative skills as an elementary school teacher to work to find her new love connection whom she believes is that little boy that was kidnapped from the mall and has been kidnapped again as an adult now known as Chris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason\u2019s one driving storyline is inspired by creator Diarra Kilpatrick\u2019s native Detroit. In 1994, four-year-old D\u2019Wan Sims went missing from the mall and still has never been found. But that child is found in\u00a0Diarra from Detroit<\/em>\u2019s version. And Rashad\u2019s Vonda Brooks is an important key.\u00a0It\u2019s a gift Kilpatrick still didn\u2019t believe even while filming the second season. <\/p>\n

\n\tPhylicia Rashad, who served as dean of the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts at her and Boseman\u2019s alma mater, the HBCU Howard University from 2021 to 2024, is royalty, especially in the Black community. Over 40 years after\u00a0The Cosby Show<\/em>\u00a0debuted in 1984, her impact in her iconic, two-time Emmy-nominated role as Clair Huxtable can still be felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBreaking that glass ceiling as the first television show to revolve around an upper middle class Black family led by a husband in Bill Cosby\u2019s Cliff Huxtable who is an OB-GYN and a wife in Rashad\u2019s Clair, who is an attorney, and together they have five children is\u00a0still\u00a0<\/em>impactful today.\u00a0The Cosby Show<\/em>\u00a0was the No. 1 show for five of its eight seasons, tying with\u00a0Roseanne\u00a0<\/em>for one of them. And that was at a time when there were just a handful of channels, so the entire country had to find some common ground.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Kilpatrick, however, Rashad\u2019s work on stage is most inspiring. \u201cIt was magical to have the opportunity to work with Phylicia because I\u2019m a theatre nerd first, and I\u2019ve seen her in so many plays. People associate her so much with Clair Huxtable, but I also associate her with some real indelible performances that I\u2019ve seen on stage. I knew she was capable of doing whatever, that she had such versatility as an actor. And then the greatest joy has been to discover that she is a really great human being, really warm and supportive. This season, we\u2019re seeing how fun she is and how spicy she can be, and I love that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYet the social media outcry to Ms. Vonda\u2019s revelation to Diarra that she slept with all of The Temptations, even detailing some of their sexual prowess, was a response to the actress, not the character. As a creator, Kilpatrick was pleased by the reaction. \u201cI love to surprise people. I love to not only introduce people to new talent that they haven\u2019t seen necessarily, like me or whomever, but also to reintroduce people to a talent that they have seen in a different way or a slightly left of center way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring an Atlanta set visit at Tyler Perry Studios,\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0<\/em>spoke to Rashad exclusively about why she accepted the role of Vonda Brooks in a brand-new show, then on BET+,from an up-and-coming creator in Kilpatrick. Below, she details her return in season two, her perspective to the social media reaction to Ms. Vonda\u2019s Temptations\u2019 reveal, and how she juggles so many different characters so well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\nWhat enticed you to become a part of\u00a0Diarra from Detroit<\/em>? Was it because it was a new show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYes, that\u2019s part of it. And the writing. I hadn\u2019t met Diarra, but when I read the script, my thought was that whoever wrote this is really clever and onto something. The way in which she writes, I would say it crosses genre. She has a real feel for cinema that\u2019s evocative of film noir \u2014 her pacing, her timing. It was just like one of those 1940s or 1950s [whodunit] films and all the roads that you end up traveling down. The timing in her writing alone is so fresh and so quick and so sharp. And it\u2019s combined with contemporary urban culture. That\u2019s an interesting combination, and it works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nSo, what drew you specifically to Ms. Vonda?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI like what Vonda was doing. Here was a woman who is complex and complicated, whose personal history isn\u2019t necessarily ideal. She is wanting to make amends. She is wanting to make something of her life that will somehow balance the terrible misstep. With children, you have to be careful. You can turn away and, in an instant, all it takes is an instance, and the worst could happen.<\/p>\n

\nAnd she experiences a parent\u2019s worst nightmare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWorst nightmare. She was a young mother, and her life was not fleshed out. To think about losing your son because you had to have an album; I don\u2019t know how you live with that. So she lived with that by rescuing other people\u2019s children.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know what she\u2019s up to when you see her at first. You don\u2019t know what that is. And this is true about people, it\u2019s so easy to judge someone by what you think you know, based on what you think you see, without really seeing and certainly without knowing.<\/p>\n

\nThere was this kind of backlash or a whole social media moment over Ms. Vonda and her fondness for The Temptations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWas there a backlash? <\/p>\n

\nPeople were like \u201cthis is Clair Huxtable.<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tOh no, it\u2019s not Clair Huxtable talking like that.<\/p>\n

\nI know.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tBut I\u2019m going to say, thank you. It says a couple of things to me. First of all, that there is great appreciation for the work I did with Mr. Cosby, great appreciation for that work to this day, and that is gratifying to me because of what that work meant for me, personally and professionally, and what it has meant for so many people. So I\u2019m going to say thank you for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tYes, that wasn\u2019t Clair Huxtable talking like that. That was Vonda Brooks. That was another kind of mother, another kind of mother who loved no less. This is what I meant by how easy it is for us to pass judgment without knowing. But you look at what she was doing and it was really very noble. She didn\u2019t have to put herself in harm\u2019s way. She really went all out to rescue people, to save [kids] so other parents wouldn\u2019t have to go through what she went through.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nAnd the moment when Diarra realizes this, Ms. Vonda inspires her and is actually key to her bringing Chris or Deonte, as Ms. Vonda named him, home. Let\u2019s talk about the second season. You\u2019ve come back. Where is Ms. Vonda now that her Deonte, now Chris, is back. What are her emotions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIn the first season when she\u2019s sitting at that table with Diarra, this is the last scene they have together, and she\u2019s talking about him. She tells her what happened on that day. She says, \u201cYou know that people are saying he\u2019s dead.\u201d But inside herself, she knows and feels that he\u2019s alive somewhere out there. That\u2019s a very strong bond, and it speaks to her longing and her love and the weight that she carries as she waits. There\u2019s a heavy weight now that\u2019s lifted because he\u2019s back. He\u2019s home, he is alive. There\u2019s a vindication of sorts, and maybe not for everybody yet, but she knows the truth of her involvement, or I should say, non-involvement. She knows the truth of what she was thinking and doing that day, and she lived with that, and she watched her husband waste away after that. Somebody who was not the fanciest guy in the world, but who was good to her. She watched that happen. That\u2019s a serious guilt. Now it\u2019s lifted because he\u2019s back now. There are people in her house again, people in her yard again, enjoying her food and her drinks in her environment and celebrating the return of her son.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nYes, but<\/strong>\u00a0at some point, her interaction with her now adult son has to get heady, because he was alive. And he couldn\u2019t contact his mother. Did he even know about his mother, Ms. Vonda?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHe was taken as a young boy. There\u2019s some brainwashing that went on there. He was reared by somebody else. He was a young boy, and that lady kept him in secret and in silence to protect him. That\u2019s a serious psychological trauma for a young child to go through for the parent as well, because of the memories you hold on to. He\u2019s back now and there has to be a resolution because there\u2019s still unspoken things between them. And it\u2019s hard for her because you have a child that you love, but you don\u2019t know him quite the way he is. She remembers him as he was. She has kept his room all these years exactly the way it was the day he disappeared. That\u2019s a lot. <\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s not atypical either for people who go through that kind of trauma. So where did you pull from for Ms. Vonda? Did you do any research or was it just being a mother yourself and the gravitas of imagining the worst that can happen to a mother and her child?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tBeing a mother and imagining that. And, also, knowing how it feels as a mother who is a human being who didn\u2019t necessarily always make the best or the right choices. You don\u2019t find that out until they\u2019re teenagers or grown folks, and they come back and they tell you (laughs<\/em>). And then you\u2019re like, \u201cWell, why didn\u2019t you say something?\u201d The truth of the matter is, as a parent, no matter how vigilant you are, there are things you don\u2019t know because you\u2019re not with them 24\/7, especially when they\u2019re going off to school and going out; you don\u2019t know what happens all the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nYeah, that\u2019s true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThink about yourself. Does your mother know everything about you?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nNo, absolutely not, especially when you grow up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\tEspecially when you grow up. Your teenage years is when it starts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nSo now, what is Ms. Vonda\u2019s relationship now to Diarra since Diarra is the one that\u2019s brought her child back?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tShe is very grateful to her. She lovingly calls her Skinny Mini. When she first met her, she thought she was kind of comical, and not always with it. But she sensed that there was something that was going to be beneficial, especially when she learned that she was snooping around trying to find out what happened to Deonte and somewhat suspicious of Vonda\u2019s connection to whatever happened. But she trusted her and she included Diarra in what she was doing. That\u2019s how she met her. She told her, \u201cCome and ride with me, and I\u2019ll tell you everything you want. Otherwise, you know, forget about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBut we\u2019re going to go save somebody along the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tShe didn\u2019t even explain what was going on. They didn\u2019t know what was going on [with Ms. Vonda]. They didn\u2019t know what the bat was for. <\/p>\n

\nAnd the audience didn\u2019t know.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tNo. Vonda knew. She knew where she was going and what she had to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nNow, how do you do all this? You and your sister. You both have<\/strong>\u00a050 million jobs. How do you make time for it all? I mean you were Renee on\u00a0The Chi<\/em>, Mrs. Kirkland on\u00a0The Gilded Age<\/em>, Ms. Vonda on\u00a0Diarra from Detroit\u00a0<\/em>and then directing\u00a0Purpose\u00a0<\/em>on Broadway and winning the Tony for Best Play. How?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOh, that part. It\u2019s the work that we do. We\u2019re trained to do it. We\u2019ve been in training since we were very young. We began with our mother and our father. Yes, discipline, which is not a heavy and hateful word, because discipline is what frees us. That\u2019s where the freedom is. In discipline. That\u2019s where you find it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
