Vanessa Williams Gets Married
Doc McStuffins Renewed For 4th Season
Doc McStuffins has been hugely successful.
The acclaimed "Doc Mc- Stuffins," which was awarded an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Children's Pro- gram, has been renewed for its 4th season.
The show centers around a young girl who communicates with and heals stuffed animals and broken toys out of her backyard playhouse clinic.
The series premiered in 2012 to record ratings and shortly thereafter, inspiring a group of female African-American physi- cians to begin a "movement" they coined "We Are Doc Mc- Stuffins." Seeing a reflection of themselves in Doc, the group grew to form the Artemis Med- ical Society, which now boasts a membership of over 4,700 women physicians of color from around the world.
Created and executive pro- duced by Chris Nee, "Doc McStuffins" season four stars Laya DeLeon Hayes as Doc, Loretta Devine as Hallie, Lara Jill Miller as Lambie, Robbie Rist as Stuffy, Jess Harnell as Chilly, Andre Robinson as Donny Mc- Stuffins, Kimberly Brooks as Mom McStuffins and Gary Anthony Williams as Dad McStuffins.

“They yell at me. They tell me what an awful mother I am and that I don’t know I have a good man. Robinson, a Jack- sonville, Florida native who went to FAMU and is well known in theater circles says she doesn’t mind her intense fans, although sometimes her [real-life] husband does.
