The original Aunt Viv has added on to the many great things the cast members of the popular show based of the life of Will Smith, Fresh Prince Of Bellaire, remembered about their counter part and on-screen dad Uncle Phil. Jane Hubert was the original Vivian Banks, until a fall out with Will Smith in which she is still very bitter about.
“Acting with James was like a great doubles match,” said Hubert. “…He was like a big strong boulder, that could either crush you or shield you. He was first and foremost an actor, classically trained, climbed that ladder step by step, role by role, to become one of the most powerful TV dads that have ever been created. My heart goes out to Barbara his real wife and family and I ask that you respect her place, as his real wife with regards to her husband with request for statements from me who simply but proudly played his TV wife Vivian Banks. RIP James, all the world is a stage, and we are merely players in this production called LIFE.”
