Happy Birthday, Cree Summer!


July 7th, 1969 - Actor and voice actress Cree Summer was born on this day. Cree Summer has a very interesting background. I knew her work from A Different World where she played the afrocentric character, Freddie, and I heard she did some voice work after that but as I researched her I found out she had an acting career long before Different World and continues to have an acting career in Voice-Over work today. I also did not find out until today that she plays Numbah 5 on "Codename: The Kids From Nextdoor." She stays busy!

She did an album in 1999 which Lenny Kravitz produced called, "Street Fairie" which is pretty good.

Her father is famed Canadian actor Don Francks, and her mother is Lili Red Eagle, a member of the Plains Cree First Nation. Her brother is former Much Music VJ Rainbow Sun Francks of the hit TV show, "Stargate Atlantis." She was born in Los Angeles, California, but grew up on an Indian reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada.
