Kim Wayans

Actress · Since 1987
Time and sheer volume of work have made Kim Wayans a veteran actress who has rarely been away from the screen for long. The film 'Scary Movie' accounts for more of the public profile than anything else does. 'Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood' counts among the more visible credits. The early stretch of the career is the part least seen today. A run of 39 years is the headline number here.
