Minnie Riperton & Maya Rudolph At Age 29
Minnie Riperton’s unparalleled voice still echoes through our soul, and her hit song Lovin’ You remains a classic soul tune. In 1972, she welcomed her second child, Maya Rudolph, but unfortunately, just seven years later, she passed away. Maya didn’t even have the time to enjoy her mother’s love, but she used the wills and trusts she had left behind to embark on her own acting career, and she’s been quite successful at that. After landing her breakthrough role on Saturday Night Live, Rudolph appeared in hit films such as The Grown Ups and Bridesmaids. Her latest success is her role in the series The Good Place, where she stills appears.
