now, but back in the 80s Warfield was a television staple on a variety of
shows. The comedienne is best remembered for playing the caustic bailiff Roz
on the popular sitcom "Night Court" and Maxine on "Empty Nest." She also had
a brief talk show in 1990. But Warfield's television debut came in 1981 as a
star in the movie, "The Marva Collins Story," however she launched her comedy
pedigree as a member of the cast on the short-lived, though controversial
"Richard Pryor Show" in 1977. While she has made recent guest appearances on
shows like "Touched by An Angel" and "Moesha," Warfield is often now found
keynoting at a variety of events where she mixes her speeches with her
cutting comedic flare. Registration for the Women's Health Symposium is $20. For more information please call 301-618-2636. |
