In addition to her work on daytime television, Vernee has been keeping rather busy in the entertainment industry. Not only is she an actress, but she is also a highly-regarded author, voice artist, and acting coach. She helps young talent find their footing while also writing and directing plays and presenting seminars and workshops for The H.E.A.R.T. and Fox Studio performing arts school. It’s a role that she takes very seriously.

She once told Soaps in Depth in an interview late last year, “I’m especially grateful, because I teach children and this will give them something to work towards – and I’m so hard on those kids. And I don’t play! I actually taught a class the morning of the Emmys and they drove me crazy before I got there. You’ve got to have respect for the business and you’ve got to do your homework. Hopefully, this will install that in them.”
Vernee was last seen on primetime television in the hit CBS show Young Sheldon. She also has two movies in the pipeline: The Mandela Effect and Clemency. She was also once best known for her recurring roles as Vernajean Williams on Welcome Back, Kotter and as Viola “Vy” Smith on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. We want to wish Vernee a very happy birthday. There’s no doubt that she spent the day with her close family members and friends. We can’t forget that the talented actress recently won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Guest Performer to further cement her place in the world of daytime drama. In the meantime, don’t forget that General Hospital airs weekdays on the ABC network. Check our local listings for times.
