Actress Alfre Woodard and son Duncan Spencer,17, attended the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards performers nominee reception at Spectra on September 16, 2011 in West Hollywood, California.
Alfre and her husband Roderick Spencer also have a daughter named Mavis,20.
Both her kids are adopted She even participated in an adoption seminar/breakfast last Nov 2010 co hosted by Hugh Jackman. I googled it. Alfre Woodard, an adoptive mother. It was called Solutions for the Orphan Crisis. There are several Black celeb who have adopted but becuse their kids are also Black its not so apparent.Including AL Roker, Nell Carter, Majic Johnson(daughter), Lou Gossett ,Regina Belle, Patti Labelle(has 4 adopted kids), Willie Mays, Tauren Blacque…
Correction she is an adoptive mother I DK if both kids are adopted.

@Danielle – that’s not Zelda Harris from Crooklyn lol – that lady is at least 30-40 years old and doesnt even look like the actress Zelda Harris.
I know right?! Lolol. I was looking at it from all different angles. That’s not her.
Hey Lola, you’re joking right? I’ve looked at that picture closely. Even enlarged it and I still can’t see ANY lil Wayne features in Duncan! LOL!
Just wanted to chime in on Zelda Harris because Crooklyn was one of my all time favs too. Here’s another great link about her. She’s a Clinical Professor of Law at Unv of Arizona. http://www.law.arizona.edu/faculty/getprofile.cfm?facultyid=46
Zelda is only 26 btw
Thanks for the info on Troy (Zelda Harris).
Duncan looks like a younger Smokie Robinson with dreads lol!
My goodness he looks so much older than 17.
Nice family picture.
Yes! If someone would have said he was 50, I would have believed it. Kinda looks like Smokey Robinson.
Crooklyn is my movie. I always wondered what little Troy is up to?!
Little troy ended up going to Princeton University! Not sure if shes still acting though! I loved her in Crooklyn!
She hasn’t acted since 2005.
she did graduate in 2007 from Princeton..here is a recent pic of her…

Weirdly enough, I think he looks a little like Lil’ Wayne in the face.
Handsome young man! To “Seriously”, yes she and her husband writer Roderick Spencer, are the parents of two adopted children, daughter Mavis and son Duncan. Mavis was even 2010 Miss Golden Globe winner. As you’ve probably guessed, I’m an ALFRE WOODARD fan since watching her in Crooklyn
Ok I didn’t know she adopted Maeve or him..I thought she had Maeve naturally. Crooklyn was my movie back in the day!!!
Mine too!!
Her children are NOT adopted. These are her biological children with her husband.
Her children are adopted.
No, they are BOTH his biological children. Read his words about half way down in this post:

I never knew she had a son and never knew she was married either..I thought she only had a daughter. He looks a tab bit older than 17.
Nice looking family! I love Alfre Woodard she played the best crack head I’ve ever seen!!!!!
She is the best crackhead! Are you talking about her role in Holiday Heart? She really dove into that role. She was a better crackhead than Halle in Monster Ball.
@Seriously don’t forget Down in the Delta!!
