Welcome!
Penwah (spelled correctly: "Phynjuar") is one of the most phenomenal artists of our time. Young in spirit, with a bubbly personality, she is a lively renaissance woman.
A gifted actor, comedian, music producer, music historian, radio personality and busy acting coach, Penwah is the consummate performer.
An incredibly generous woman, Penwah shares her gift by grooming and coaching up-and-coming talent. She was the sole guiding force behind the successful career of her daughter Michelle Thomas who was best known for her role as Myra Monkhouse on the long-running ABC Television hit show FAMILY MATTERS. Tragically, Michelle passed away in December of 1998 due to complications following surgery to remove an intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor, a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
Three years after her daughter journeyed to heaven, Penwah found strength and bounced back. In 2001 she discovered, and put on the map for the world to see, Mr. Tobias Truvillion who plays Vincent Jones on the ABC Television soap opera ONE LIFE TO LIVE. She's his personal acting coach and manager.
Today, Penwah works with and influences many actors, including Ms. Tasha Smith who credits Penwah as her inspiration for her portrayal of Angela in TYLER PERRY’S “WHY DID I GET MARRIED?” Ms. Smith said, “Penwah is by far one of the funniest and talented women you will ever hope to meet!” |
