Terri McMillian's 'Tempted By Love' to Air on Lifetime

-


This summer, prepare to be swept off your feet by a heartfelt May/December romance, "Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love." This Undaunted Content production, executive produced by Garcelle Beauvais and D’Angela Proctor, will have its theatrical debut with a three-city release.

“Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love" authentically portrays Ava (Beauvais), a successful Black woman juggling the real-life challenges of being a caregiver, living with menopause, and embracing a diagnosis that could threaten her career as a world-renowned chef—all while finding unexpected love with a charming, younger man. In a landscape where romantic movies rarely feature Black women over 50, “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love" stands out as a unique departure. 

Beauvais, known for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and her roles in “The Jamie Foxx Show," Netflix’s “Survival of the Thickest,” and Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl,” shines in this role alongside Vaughn W. Hebron, known for "The Game" and "The Oval," and who will appear in the upcoming season of Hulu/Onyx’s “Reasonable Doubt.” The film also features a reunion of Lela Rochon Fuqua (“Waiting to Exhale” and the upcoming “The Family Business: New Orleans”) and Loretta Devine (“Waiting to Exhale,” “This Christmas,” "P-Valley,” and Netflix’s “Family Reunion”) since their iconic roles in "Waiting to Exhale.”


"I am elated to make my theatrical debut with 'Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love.' This film represents everything Undaunted Content stands for—fearlessly telling the beautiful love story of a seasoned Black woman dealing with relatable real-life issues. I was able to do so with a team of strong Black women: executive producer Beauvais, director Tailiah Breon, writer Tamara T. Gregory, and producer Artisha Mann-Cooper. You can’t get any better than this,” said Proctor.

The buzz around "Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love" has been electric, with the film's trailer receiving an enthusiastic response during its premiere at the 2024 Essence Festival of Culture.

“Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love" will debut with a special three-city screening in Atlanta, Chicago, and Houston from August 9 through August 16, 2024, before premiering nationwide on Lifetime as a Lifetime Original Movie on August 17, 2024.

Screening Locations:
- Atlanta: Movie Tavern, Tucker, GA, 4043 Lavista Rd, Tucker, GA 30084
- Chicago: Wayfarer Theaters, 1850 2nd St, Highland Park, IL 60035
- Houston: Star Cinema Grill, 4811 Highway 6, Missouri City, TX 77459

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995.

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
