Okay old schoolers, this is NSFW, (not suitable for work), and we aren’t just saying that…we really mean it! On second thought…for some of you this is yesterday’s news, but the vast majority of our ILOSM family didn’t know that one of Bill Cosby’s programs, “A Different World,” turned out an actress of a different kind. Years later, she was still acting, but in a totally different capacity.
If you don’t remember the actress, Jonell Green — she played feisty teen, “Dashawn Curtis,” on A Different World” who always had something flip to say to “Whitley” and the other characters. In addition to appearing in “A Different World,” Green has also played a role in “Bebe’s Kids,” “Roc” and “Sister-Sister.”
She also once confessed that she knows Cosby would be unhappy with the career path she chose after mainstream acting.
“I do think Bill Cosby would be disappointed in me, because he is for a majority of Black people to get higher education and things like that, you know.”
Her Surprising Career After “A Different World”
Her quote came years before Bill Cosby was charged with multiple charges of sexual assault. You see, Jonell Green who played “Dashawn Curtis” is a very popular adult film star who now goes by the name, Aryana Starr.
So, while folks may have something to say about this former child actress and her career moves, the last one who should open their mouth on this here topic, is probably Mr. Cosby…no shade, just saying.
Anywho, Aryana Starr, is now 41 years old and loves what she does. She gives a simple reason as to why she ventured into the world of adult films:
“Because I love sex!,” says Aryana Starr
From 2008 to 2011 Aryana Starr has starred in close to 100 films, starring in movies like; “Black & Wild #27, “Thicka Than A Snicka”, and “Black Out.” She’s now officially retired from the adult game, but still gives her fans sexy videos and photos on the website, Hubzter.
