vivica_06-grey-corner_056.jpgReal Simple Talk with Vivica A. Fox
This month’s cover girl, Vivica A. Fox, is a woman who has lived in the public eye for 20 years, and the last several have had their trying moments-publicly. Audiences have always related to the 43-year-old actress/producer (Soul Food, Kill Bill) and been curious about her life.
