If you're looking for something to watch on TV tonight, August 24, allow us to recommend Terry McMillan Presents: Forever airing on Lifetime at 8 pm ET/PT. The movie not only sees Taye Diggs (Love & Murder: Atlanta Playboy) star opposite Meagan Good (Harlem), but it also reunites Diggs with the famed author, Terry McMillan, who penned the book How Stella Got Her Groove Back and co-wrote the script for the 90s movie.
It's hard to believe it's been more than 26 years since How Stella Got Her Groove Back hit theaters. The cinematic feat saw Stella Payne (Angela Bassett) and the younger Winston Shakespeare (Taye Diggs) explore love after meeting during her luxurious Jamaican vacation. They navigated all the ups and downs that come with an age gap and cultural difference, and it left viewers ready to buck the "norms" of dating. Additionally, one could argue the movie launched Diggs' illustrious Hollywood career and is to date, the pinnacle of McMillan’s.
