Marissa Tomei is riding the wave of critical acclaim and commercial success of her latest film, Spider-Man: No Way Home. In an interview during the release of the second film, Spdider-Man: Far From Home Academy Award-winning actress Marisa Tomei is reflecting on her time on the classic 90s show A Different World.

For those unfamiliar, Tomei played Margaret “Maggie” Lauten one of the HBCU’s only non-Black students. The character, along with others, was written off after the show very notably went in a different direction after the first season.

“That was one of the most fun times in my life, that period,” Tomei said when asked about the series in a HipHollywood interview. She noted that she has been thinking about the show a lot, especially when doing the All in the Family live episode for ABC’s Live in Front of a Studio Audience.

When asked where her character would be, Tomei offered a surprising response: back at Hillman.

“She’d probably be a professor,” she explained confidently. “She’d probably be teaching … back there.”
