In this moment, Stickney reveals that she was originally suppose to play 'Pookie' in New Jack City. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_
Such an underrated talent. Loved her in 'the women of Brewster place'
She looks so much like Madge Sinclair who played Eddie Murphy's mother in 'coming to America'
OMG! 🎯 Madge Sinclair was BEAUTIFUL!!!! ❤
I DEFINITELY can see that now!..🤯😃👍🏿👍🏿
she could have done his mother for coming to America too
Yeah she does favor her a little
She does specially now that she's got older both are beautiful and women❤️😘
I remember seeing her perform back in 91 on stage at the African Street Festival in Brooklyn. I always loved her and thought she was beautiful and intelligent.
Beautifully put
Me too. I saw her in a one woman show in Atlanta during the National Black Arts Festival. Phenomenol woman. ( “Once you do that, that’s what you will end up doing.” Listen Ladies, listen!) Standing room only in the ATL when Black was in. Rolling on the floor funny. And educational. Just an amazing person. So much integrity. Now that would have been crazy funny, Phyllis as Pookie. Get outta here!
She is HILARIOUS!!!! You need to bring her back!
Loved her in Women of Brewester’s Place & What’s Love Got To Do With It! ❤ #Unsung
I loved her in that too
Make Phyllis a regular, we need more Phyllis.
@SteelerzReignSupreme II
Man, I wish your mother would have said no, when you were conceived.
Yessss!!!!
Please do
Agreed...she's a truth teller and pulls no punches. Shout out Queen Phyllis🙏🏾
Yes! She's speaking so much truth! I'd love to see more of her on this channel ❤
Phyllis is Telling The Truth. Martin was supposed to be Pookie, but after Robin Harris--his mentor--passed away without warning, they gave it to Chris Rock. Chris did a Phenomenal job as Pookie. After Phyllis' audition (and she actually did read for Pookie at the Burbank auditions, and she nailed it, but George and Doug wanted a male to play Pookie) at the Jackson/McHenry bungalow on the Warner Bros Lot in Burbank, I told George Jackson (GOD Rest his soul), that they needed to find a role for Ms. Stickney, because not only her comedic chops, but her acting chops were (and still are) off the Richter scale. Her performance as Attorney Hawkins in New Jack City is memorable, because of her phenomenal skill as an actress.
Why would anyone think she wasn’t right? And who are you to confirm anything right or wrong? Plus you wrong, she said she was suppose to be pookie. No no bum Martin guy whoever that is or isn’t
@@leonleon2276 My man - I Wrote the film. I was there. But calm down. You are entitled to your erroneous opinion. All good.
@@leonleon2276 ...And *Martin* as in Martin Lawrence.

@@Bmcwriter well dude, the www covers every part of the planet. Next time, maybe just state that you the guy that wrote it. So sure , I see why you put that comment. Martin Lawrence for me don’t make no good crack head in any film. I’m not sure he fits in any gangster film to be fair. Not a massive fan of Lawrence. Glad he didn’t get the part.
Phyllis I FREGGIN LOVE YOU!!!!!! She said, she rolled up to the filming set and said "So, who am I?" Chile when I tell you a hollard... Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
I have enjoyed watching her interviews.. we need to see more of her on the TV
Yes you HAVE Mrs. Phyllis Yvonne Stickley!!! She was gave the absolute BEST interview and look at her life! Thank God for this QUEEN!
I have so much respect for her...she understood the assignment 🖤
Yes, and she has always executed extremely well. To me, she's the embodiment of how an actress suppose to carry themselves when it comes to the cutthroat business in a n acting and musical career....simply keep your stance on what you believe in and not compromising yourself to give into the evils of the business.
“I’m sure the court was enlightened by your geopolitical tirade, Mr. Brown.”
😂 she smoked Nino with that line. She didn’t care about his emotional rant.
She has so much personality and self confidences about herself and she is beautiful.
Ms. Phyllis has been on social media a lot lately. Love it! Her voice is melodic to me. 😍
She’s a typically sassy arrogant black woman with an attitude, that ensured she didn’t scale the heights.
Watching her interviews is making me want to go back and watch her whole filmography!! Love her!!! 😍😍😍
Ikr
Absolutely!!!
Same!
I am really enjoying her interview! It's so good to see her!!
I can't take back my performance pay me now ,she is AWESOME
She played in Inkwell too I love her ❤
Don't forget women of Brewster's Place
New Jack City and the Soundtrack, 'Perfect Combination...' What an era. An intelligent woman who isn't dealing with your BS... she pulled an Aretha before she takes the stage, love it.
I love her....."NO PUNANY" Lol
I know right? Too Funny! I love her."
#ThatPart 🦾
😂😂
I now realize from the Metoo movement when they label a female actress as "Hard to work with" they are really telling other producers and Directors that she is not willing to have sex to get a role!
#NoPoonanny 😂😂😂😂😂
She was fire in talking dirty after dark my favorite Martin movie Such an underrated movie
💯💯💯💯💯 frfr soooo hilarious 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I’m loving her 😂 we need more time to hear her stories
Well put & well spoken.A stand up Woman..much Respect.🙏🏽
I still can't believe she played her own agent and gave us the voice in the other interview😂😂
Smart woman with so much potential. My coach told me once you sleep with someone, you'll have to with everyone in the industry.
Wow 😳
Whoa
In other words, become a 'pass around.' 😢
@@danavixen6274 A model told me they would sleep with anyone, to advance their career.
@@MasseurDavis 😮😮😮
Her confidence is definitely a gift.. Especially that lil youthful firecracker she was.. I stumbled up on Inkwell the other day.. I hadn't seen in yrs.. and there she was in it.. Lol..
"Film is an editor's medium." She has gems...
Ok again….. I absolutely LOVE HER❤❤❤❤
I have loved this woman for years!!! Met her way back in the day on a small TV project, she was amazing! Still in love with her!
Absolutely the REALEST interviewEE EVER!!!!! Love it! 😀👍🏽
She's phenomenal. Ms. Yvonne was memorable in every performance I've seen her in. I loved her in Jungle Fever, New Jack City, Women of Brewsters Place and Stella👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. As a child in the 90's I loved seeing black women wearing their natural hair. She was one of the first I remembered regularly wearing hers💚
She literally had to explain twice to the interviewer that she was supposed to be pokie lol. How didn't he understand what she said the first time smh lol.
Love her Energy. She needs her own show.
Please bring her back. She is awesome.
Nothing in the world as golden, then the chocolate queens... better with age💃🏿👀🔥🔥
I love her. She gives me strength
Black Integrity is Matchless.
Glad I found this channel. Sister is still as beautiful as ever. All us fellas had a crush on her. Thanks for the drop.
Some people are just born with a knowledge beyond their years, she is one of those people. Great interview
I love her & have always respected her! She's well spoken & keeps it 100!
Sis is the truth great interview
Chris Rock killed that role though
RIGHT! Can't see her in that role
@@tmariethatsme8170 me neither lol😂
Chris is so memorable & believable in that role. I can only see him as Pookey! 😅
She's not saying he didnt. She is speaking to the politics and the lack of respect. She wasn't updated and would've been left out.
I love this woman ❤
Ms Stickney was hilarious as Aretha, the love interest of Dukie (John Witherspoon) in Talkin' Dirty After Dark.
This whole clip should've be named _"I wont give IT up"_ !!! or _"Say _*_NO_*_ to the casting couch"_ !!!
Because that's all I got from this clip.
This chick has been on that "Casting Couch"/"Colorism" trip going back to the very early 90's. The business is brutal to everyone who ventures into it, and at the end of the day, only a few makes it to the top.....Even if it's just for a day.
This is a great interview, as real as real can be.
Actually the producers wanted Martin Lawrence & from what I heard he killed the audition but rip robin harris he had to take time away to grieve with that since robin was martins mentor 💯
Yea I heard that aswell
That’s the story I knew
Yes. Initially it was her but they wanted a male. It went to Martin first and then Chris.
Whoa! Had no idea! 😳
Chris was the right person for that role, it was meant for him! 😊
He played that pookey part so well , I can’t see anyone else playing that part! But I loved her as the lawyer! That’s my all time favorite movie! Just went last year to see the New Jack City Play in Brooklyn! It was awesome! 👏🏾❤️
She was Gorgeous in New York City ❤
It’s crazy I didn’t know she was so funny I was only used to seeing her in serious roles and new jack city was how I was introduced to her. But she is hilarious
Uh Huh.
This beautiful goddess mentored and nurtured me when I was a newbie in this game. She is a constant source of inspiration and I welcome the day that our paths cross again!!
😂😂😂😂😂 I've always loved her!!! She's hilarious and brilliant!!👏🏾
She should be Florida in a remake of Good Times! ❤️ Phyllis
So...this lady been looking EXACTLY like this for 40 years. I need to know what the "moisturization" game is. Like Dang!!! She could be 32 or 102. Nobody knows. Love her.
I love to hear about it. There's nothing like a black woman who knows her worth, and stands ten toes down in that, no matter the cost...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Digging her integrity. Excellent point she made about movies being an editor's medium.
She is a gem. I love her.
God Bless this woman. Every time I see her my mind runs back to Die Hard 3 when she got up and yelled "Sargeant Turley.....Sargeant TURLEY!!!!" That always cracks me up cause she said it with such sass😂😊
She played the hell out of that role. I thought 💭 she was really a lawyer/ prosecutor when I was younger until I saw her in another movie 🎥
After watching this, I wanted to look for all of the films and tv shows Ms. Phyllis was in. Can u believe , this wonderful woman does not have a Wikipedia page? Wth? Smdh !
Oh I needed to see you ma'am cause that's JUST how I am in the Industry acting. Been doing it myself so now I know why nothing has really popped off and I WASNT AND DIDNT GIVE UP NO AZZ EITHER. I TOOK THE LOOOONG ROUTE
Ms.Hawkins - in Nino Brown voice 😂😂
“Cause when you pay me I can get my own drink” ooop! Sprinkle Sprinkle lol
This is how we want to see our black women❤❤❤
Phyllis Yvonne is MY GIRL!!!! I’m so glad she forced herself back into that movie...in a more respectable role at that!! LOVE YOU, Phyllis!!! 😍
"Who Am I? Cus Ah RuH"😂😂❤❤
She’s a great comedian better than most people out there right now.
Comedy Hype got the dopest interviews. Love it.
This is a first for me, knew of her previous work as well as her appearing in certain films. Listening to her in these interviews is very refreshing. I LOVE HER!!!!
Always loved this woman. Her self worth and integrity makes her even more attractive 🥰❤️
I remember her. The Yams was amazing
I remember the night she won on the Apollo amateur night.. I love her..
I loooooove her and I saw her on the PATH trains back in the 90's . An elegant beauty!!!
Wow, she strong armed her way into the movie. That's some real boss shit.
How they say in Harlem she’s extra 😂😂 but s/o to her 💯
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah
She’s such a class act❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
LOL yo she's too funny 😂😂😂
She is sooooo needed there, such a lack of realness in the industry and social media. we need truth, and she is it!!!
She is aging backwards!! ❤️Ms. Haw-KINS!!💯
Yo. I totally forgot about her in New Jack City. I still remember her as Tina Turner's sister in what's love got to do with it
I love her energy ❤
I Love Phyllis Yvonne Stickney. Beautiful Black Sister Baby.
Need more of her ❤❤❤
Phyllis is definitely a huge talent. It's too bad the industry never recognizes those who refuse to kiss ass as assets. Thank you for highlighting this remarkable Queen.
Wow she's definitely has more personality than I thought she had , because as the lawyer in NJC she was very stern and no nonsense , love Ms Stickney
She's eccentric and has a great smile compounded with a profound presence which seems to be absent amongst today's performing artists. I'm still in awe of her.
Putting the whole "sex for jobs" culture aside (which is a toxic culture that should DIE), and as brilliant as Phyllis is, industries operate on relationships. You hire a manager and/or agent to represent you because they have established relationships with the right people which can lead to you - the talent - get more opportunities to work and be seen. Eventually, you build your own relationships and can be that conduit for other people. That said, I'm sure she's happy with the decisions she made and more power to her for that.
How you bring up Chris getting slapped? Lol 😂😂😂
I've always loved her, in any film, What's Love Got To Do With It, Women Of Brewster's Place, all of them and I've always thought she was so beautiful!!
Omg we need more of her
I love Phyllis because she's extremely talented and not acknowledged and appreciated enough when it comes to her acting skills. I've always loved her beautiful dark chocolate skin tone and her intellect....the industry needs more women like her, because she's selling herself as an actress, not her body. Many others need to be a pupil and take notes as to how she has handled her business with class, integrity and smarts....you can tell that you cannot just run all over her because she definitely know her craft and the business itself.
Ms. Phyllis is the truth! Island girl here so I can relate. Fabulous actress/comedian and Queen. ❤
While we are aware that "sleep-arounds" are common in Hollywood, she presented the "punani" argument like like it was an assumption as to why she didn't get to play Pookie. She never explicitly said that someone forced a move on her, in exchange for the role.
Tim stickney played rj Gannon on oltl great actor
😮 OH WOW That's her Brother!! Cool
I couldn't see her as Pookie anyway. She is too beautiful.
Jaguar Wright is her spirit animal.
When your strong they take ur ish in the audition and give to someone else that they think they can control, if they don't know u or never worked with u b4. I seen people get the part doing shyte they got from me😂 so she not lyin.
I just saw her in Talkin Dirty After Dark the other day. This is crazy
I love her ❤️😻 💕
I love her, thank you for bringing her back.
She aged well but back in the days she was super fine!!!
I'm sure that conversation didn't go like who am I... if you was supposed to be pooky... you knew who you audition for or talk to production about.
They just didn't call you back after Chris Rock audition... the right person got that part.
I love dark skin women
Yes
There is nothing more beautiful on Earth then a dark-skinned sister. These other dudes can have these redbones and Mellow Yellows I'm cool
@@leecosey7003 Cool I’m take them along with the beautiful caramels too!!
This isn’t the full story….Martin was the win who actually won this role. Robin Harris passing, impacted him so much that they called Chris in since he did it second best. Chris was better than his own reading for the part, there goes history.
