Sandra Clark was the loudest, sassiest neighbor on 227, and Jackée Harry played her to perfection. The NBC sitcom ran from 1985 to 1990. In 1987, Jackée made history as the first Black actress to win the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

She bounced back in the ’90s as Lisa, Tia’s fashion-loving adoptive mom on Sister, Sister (1994–1999). Years later, her funny social media posts turned her into an internet favorite, and in 2021 she joined Days of Our Lives. She’s had lots of wins, but they were spread out over time.
