Lynn Whitfield has made a name for herself within the entertainment industry as an actress who will always bring class and sophistication to the big screen. From her role as Lady Mae Greenleaf in the hit series ‘Greenleaf’ to her portrayal of Brandi Web in ‘A Thin Line Between Love & Hate,’ Whitfield’s characters exude influence, wealth, and status. Over the years, this notable trend has sparked a harmless joke that the 71-year-old actress “never plays broke,” a claim she recently addressed.

Last week, Whitfield sat down with Angela Yee for her ‘Way Up With Yee’ radio show and discussed her upcoming film, ‘Albany Road. During the conversation, the two ladies playfully touched on the running statement, with Whitfield acknowledging that it is a “self-awareness” to how you “present yourself.”

If you’re unfamiliar with Whitfield’s roles, her filmography is a master class in luxury, blending in a recurring theme of women rising above their circumstances. In Greenleaf, Whitfield played Lady Mae Greenleaf, the matriarch of a well-off family that operates a megachurch empire. With her sharp tongue and impressive wardrobe, Lady Mae became a fan favorite, showcasing the perfect way of not looking like what you’ve been through.

Another iconic role where Whitfield brought grace and class to the forefront is ‘Eve’s Bayou.’ In the 1997 film, Whitfield portrayed Roz Batiste, a wealthy Southern mother, navigating the struggles with her marriage and family. Set in 1960s Louisiana, Whitfield captured Roz as a woman with elegance and restraint despite her life unraveling due to her husband’s infidelities.

Last but certainly not least, ‘A Thin Line Between Love & Hate’ is also a fan favorite in terms of Whitfield’s roles. In 1996, Whitfield stepped outside of her calm demeanor and became the glamorous yet vengeful Brandi Web. Her character as a seductive entrepreneur became a cautionary tale about respecting boundaries and honesty. The interesting storyline, coupled with Whitfield’s lavish lifestyle, made this film a cult classic amongst movie lovers.

Nonetheless, Whitfield’s longevity and relevance in Hollywood can be credited to choosing roles that best fit her style and leave a lasting impression on the audience. Whether as a glamorous businesswoman or a wealthy matriarch, we know one thing for sure: Ms. Whitfield will NEVER “play broke.” Check out some of our favorite films featuring Lynn Whitfield below:
