Daphne Maxwell Reid, 72, who was the second actress to portray the role of Vivian Banks aka “Aunt Viv” on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from 1993-1996, recently met Janet Hubert, 64, who was the first actress to play the role, at the HBO Max reunion for the show, and couldn’t help but thank her for leaving when she did. The talented star admitted that she embraced the original Vivian, who was on the show from 1990-1993, during a photo op for the epic special and used the opportunity to express her gratitude at the same time even though she knew it could have been awkward.
