Kyla Pratt made a surprise cameo on Insecure this week and it was one of the best in the show’s history as she played a pranking fiancé out on her bachelorette party. As soon as she hit the scene she had the internet exploding with joy over her appearance. That’s just because we love Kyla so much.
We all felt like we grew up with her and watching her still be great is always a joy to see. Here’s the thing about Kyla: she’s been with us as we grew up and now has grown up to be an absolute baddie in her own right.
Hit the flip and see her in her glory and some of the moments we’ve come to know and love her for.
The first question people had was how old is she? Well Kyla is 33 years old. Feel old now?
She started in commercials and a cameo in Walker Texas Ranger in 1997 when she was just 11 years old. But you probably don’t remember her for that.
Afterwards she showed up these iconic shows for brief stings: Smart Guy, Sister, Sister, Family Matters, Lizzie McGuire, Moesha, and The Parkers.
2001 was Kyla’s big coming out party. That’s when she started on One on One, which she starred in for five years.
At the same time she was the unforgettable voice of one Penny Proud on The Proud Family. We can hear her as Penny Proud forever.
She was a big screen star, too. She starred in all three Dr. Doolittle movies. Not that many people can say they stood next to Eddie Murphy in a starring role.
She’s a good singer too, having done songs for Disney and The Proud Family soundtrack.
Pay homage to one of the most iconic Black voices we have.
