Cynda Williams - As Dandridge's older sister Vivian, Williams stole scenes in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. Williams seemed to be a favorite of Black cinema in the 1990s, with roles in Mo' Betta Blues and Black Rose of Harlem, to name a few, and though she has worked steadily since, her acting career never really took off the way her co-star Berry's did. She and her husband Roderick Plummer moved to Singapore in the mid-2000s, where he taught film and she dabbled in stage performances. The couple now live in Chicago, where Williams is active in the theater scene.  (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images)
