Soap fans might remember Shari Headley from her role as psychiatrist Dr. Felicia Boudreaux on Guiding Light in 2001-2002, Heather Engle on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2004-2005, and of course the iconic Officer Mimi Reed Frye on All My Children, from 1991 to 2005. She also recently starred in Tyler Perry's crime-driven soap opera The Haves and the Have Nots as D.A. Jennifer Sallison from 2014 to 2016, breathing life into a role that screamed girl power.

Apart from her long career in daytime television, Headley acted in many other shows and films throughout the years. The actress appeared on the spin-off show Cosby in 1996, the drama series 413 Hope St. as Juanita Barnes in 1997-1998, cult classic Veronica Mars as Vanessa Hamilton in 2005, on House as Dr. Arlene Marks in 2005, and on the Queen Latifah-led musical drama Star as Houston Connelly in 2019.

While the Coming to America actress has countless roles under her belt, her latest projects are some of her most exciting yet. Apart from the anticipated sequel Coming 2 America, Headley recently starred in Showtime's dark comedy On Becoming a God in Central Florida opposite Kirsten Dunst. Taking on the role of Harmony, Headley stars as one of Louise's past "patients" who must deal with all sorts of trauma (via AV Club). It's safe to say that whatever Headley is doing, she'll always have our hearts -– and a super-regal air about her!
