Actress Beverly Todd has truly made a lasting impact in the world of film and television, carving out a diverse and impressive career over several decades. Early on, Beverly Todd began building her reputation with standout roles in notable films like The Lost Man (1969), followed by They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (1970), and then Brother John (1971). These early performances laid a solid foundation for what would become a long and dynamic journey in entertainment.
Moving into the 1980s, Beverly Todd continued to expand her presence on screen, appearing in acclaimed TV series such as Lou Grant, Benson, and Magnum, P.I. She also took on a recurring role in the short-lived but memorable The Redd Foxx Show, further showcasing her range and dedication to the craft. But it was a pivotal moment in 1989 that really highlighted her talent—her performance alongside Morgan Freeman in the inspiring biopic Lean on Me. In the film, Beverly Todd portrayed Ms. Levias, a role that many consider one of her finest during that era.
Of course, Beverly Todd didn’t stop there. As the new century unfolded, she delivered two particularly powerful performances. The first came in 2004’s Crash, where she played the mother of Don Cheadle’s character—a brief but emotionally resonant appearance. Then, in 2007, she appeared once again alongside Morgan Freeman, this time in The Bucket List, playing the role of Virginia Chambers. It marked her second collaboration with Freeman and added another memorable chapter to Beverly Todd’s storied filmography.
Beyond her work in front of the camera, Beverly Todd is deeply committed to giving back. She co-founded “Sunshine Circle,” a private preschool designed to nurture young children through creative learning. Additionally, she established and leads “Hollywood Sisters,” a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting cultural arts initiatives. Through both her artistic contributions and community involvement, Beverly Todd continues to inspire—proving that her influence extends far beyond the screen. And throughout it all, Beverly Todd remains a respected figure whose legacy in Hollywood is both rich and enduring.
Beverly Todd has been part of several movies, but one that really stands out is Turnover from 2019—it’s her highest-rated film to date. On the flip side, her performance in Moving, which came out back in 1988, holds the distinction of being her lowest-rated work. While Beverly Todd has had a diverse career, these two films represent the opposite ends of how audiences and critics have responded to her roles over the years.
