MARGARET AVERY as Helen Patterson in BET’s Being Mary Jane. Q: Is there a role that you haven’t played yet that you’d really like to play? MA: You know what? I’m ALWAYS ‘the nice one’ and ‘nice’ is tired because you don’t have any conflict! I want to play someone where people will just hate me. Maybe a CEO who just works everybody to death. Either that or something with Shakespeare because it gives a nice workout. Q: You worked on “Heatwave” as Roxie Turpin alongside Ms. Cicely Tyson. Can you share a fond memory of being on set with her?
