HBO's hit sports drama "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" returned for its second season on Aug. 6. The series, which centers around the Los Angeles Lakers, chronicles the team's Showtime era during the 1980s. It also dives into the players' personal lives. Considering Magic Johnson led the team to victory five times during this period, it's no surprise he's such a prominent character on the show. The second season recaps his early days as a father as he welcomes his son, Andre Johnson. Since "Winning Time" tends to dramatize a few details, you may be wondering about Magic's real-life kids.
It's true that Andre is Magic's first-born son. However, unlike the show, Andre's real mother isn't named Rhonda Mitchell, but Melissa Mitchell. She and Magic dated briefly and only welcomed one child together. A decade after Andre was born in 1981, Magic married his wife, Cookie Johnson, in 1991. A year later,...

It's hard to overstate the importance of Bruce W. Smith's "The Proud Family." The Disney Channel animated series was one of the first animated shows with a Black creator and a majority Black cast, unafraid to explore subjects like race, class, and cultural differences in a way that young audiences could understand. The show originally ran from 2001-2005, with 52 episodes, and the film, "The Proud Family Movie," marked the end of the series. That is, until Disney+ came calling and rebooted the series for a new generation.
Now in its second season, "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" continues the saga of The Proud Family and their diverse community of friends, family, and colleagues. /Film's own Rafael Motamayor recently spoke with show creator Bruce W. Smith and longtime producer Ralph Farquhar about continuing the series and gave some exclusive insight into what it's like working for the House of Mouse.
