Exclusive: Lynn Whitfield on playing Oprah's sister 'It's interesting to have two grown women feuding'

Emmy Award winner Lynn Whitfield talks to MEAWW about the new season of 'Greenleaf' and her upcoming Netflix romantic flick 'Nappily Ever After'
PUBLISHED SEP 14, 2018

You know an anti-hero is great when you find yourself seeing beyond the bad things they do. The character's layers fall before your eyes and you think to yourself - maybe their reason to do whatever they do is worthwhile. Lady Mae in 'Greenleaf' is one of those lead protagonists that enamor you with mystery. Emmy Award winner Lynn Whitfield is nothing short of breathtaking as Daisy Mae as she navigates the murky waters that separate morality, religion, and spirituality.
