ACTRESS KARYN PARSONS(”HILLARY BANKS”) AND KIDS
Celebrity mom Karyn Parsons says she does not miss playing the self-indulgent diva Hilary Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It could be that she’s too busy juggling play dates in the park for daughter Lana, 4, and son Nico, 10 months, to reminisce about her narcissistic television character. In addition to parenting, these days, Parsons is thinking about education. In fact, while she was filming The Fresh Prince, her mother would call her with Black history stories. She felt that some of the stories would be well-suited for a children’s book and began working on a compilation. In 2003 Parsons married Alexander Rockwell and started a family. ‘I was thinking about my own responsibilities as a parent that were coming up, and teaching my daughter about her heritage.’ So, in 2004 Parsons started Sweet Blackberry, a production company based in New York, where she and her family live.
She’s written and produced two animated films that are available on DVD.She says that the stories are meant to be a fun way to teach children about their history, ‘especially about Black Americans who we don’t hear about so much. If young people get interested early, it’s something that will stay with them for a lifetime.

I watch the fresh prince all the time and I never get tired of Hillary she was so funny and excellent in that role.
I’ve watched Fresh Prince for quite a while and found you, Ms. Parsons, very attractive and enjoyed your performance in other movies such as Major Payne and The Ladies Man as well. Your children are beautiful and are a great illustration of the beauty of their mother.
Karyn’s little boy is adorable.
Is her little girl an albino, because she looks like one.
love U, Good Luck on your productions,videos what ever U do fine.
lovely kids of your.
She is still so damn hot. I’d hit it.
I won’t hit it. It was already hit too much.
@savannah -people with albinism have red eyes, if her father is white then she prob only recived white genes from both sides - it is possible and has happened with a set of twins in the UK.
Not all albinos have red eyes. A girl I know has blue eyes.
Her daughter looks albino. Kinda michael Jackson skin complexion
pretty scary.I can only guess her children are by a white man. I
just realized her kids are by Jennifer Beal’s ex. Wow that guy sure
has it for women of biracial background.
God bless you Karyn and your beautiful family.
her daughter looks nothing like her
I shag her
Her daughter looks JUST like her. I don’t think she is albino at all. Being that she is 75% white she appears to have taken all of those genes. Cute kids.
She is married to Jennifer Beals EX Husband
LOL. Her daughter has her eyes and you can tell that the kids have white in them (not albinos..by now ppl don’t know the difference?!) and she is mix so in many cases when that happens the kids turn out close to this :). I love/d that show! and her also!
Wow her daughter is a spitting image of her! Her son is cute too.. Karen looks great
her daughter doesn’t look albino. her father is white and Karyn herself is half white. but her and her children are beautiful. (:
Kids look just like her, Karyn have neva been cute to me, but I sho luvvvvvved me some Hillary on “Fresh Prince”.
I wonder why a white man she’s beautiful and talk about her history but those children are cute but blue and green lines don’t mix
no pun attended, I love Karyn P and think her children are adorable but one questions: 1) is her daughter Albino or mixed?
Mixed. Karyn is biracial and her children are by a white man.
