Maia Campbell (c. 1996)

Picture it: UPN, 1996. A stunningly beautiful actress from Maryland, daughter to famed author Bebe Moore Campbell, plays LL Cool J’s surrogate on the sitcom, In the House. Nominated for a Young Artist Award, her developing acting chops and striking looks earn her a series of bit parts in TV and film.

The moment is captured on video, posted to YouTube, and admonished by those who remember her: She’s thirty-three years old, her life’s taken a dive, and her name is Maia Campbell.
