Vivica A. Fox – Stephanie Simmons

One of the biggest stars to have started her career on The Young and the Restless, Vivica A. Fox became part of the show’s ensemble in 1994. Fox played Dr. Stephanie Simmons, a hospital physician who becomes a love interest for Shemar Moore’s Malcolm Winters. Although Simmons’ character only survived on Y & R for a single season, the gig helped to kickstart Vivica’s career. She has since had starring roles in Batman & Robin, Independence Day, and Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, all of which have proven to be box office gold. She began a recurring role as bad girl Cookie Lyon’s older sister Candace on Empire in 2015.
