‘Beverly Hills, 90210,’ ‘Insecure’ Actress Was 64 – The Hollywood Reporter
Denise Dowse, the busy character actress who portrayed Vice Principal Yvonne Teasley on Beverly Hills, 90210, Judge Rebecca Damsen on The Guardian and therapist Rhonda Pine on Insecure, has died. She was 64.
Dowse’s passing was announced Saturday on her Instagram account by older sister Tracey Dowse, who praised her sibling as “the most amazing sister, a consummate, illustrious actress, mentor and director. She was my very best friend and final family member.”
On Aug. 7, Tracey wrote on Instagram that her younger sister was hospitalized and in a coma brought on by a “virulent form of meningitis.”
On the big screen, Denise Dowse stood out as Ray Charles’ manager Marlene André in Ray (2004), starring Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, and she played another principal, this one based on a real-life educator at Richmond (California) High School, in Coach Carter (2005), starring Samuel L. Jackson.
She said those were among her favorite roles, as was her two-episode turn in 2011-12 as Yvonne Burns, the aunt of Shemar Moore’s Derek Morgan, on CBS’ Criminal Minds.
Dowse also did a lot of stage directing and was at the helm of Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story, starring Ledisi as the legendary gospel singer. The film opened the Pan African Film & Arts Festival in Los Angeles in April.
Dowse recurred as the strict but compassionate West Beverly Hills High vice principal Teasley on 23 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210, spanning the entire 10-year run (1990-2000) of the Fox hit.
She then made 32 appearances as Judge Damsen on the 2001-04 Simon Baker-starring CBS drama The Guardian and six as Molly’s (Yvonne Orji) therapist on the final three seasons of Issa Rae’s Insecure at HBO.
Denise Yvonne Dowse was born in Honolulu on Feb. 21, 1958. Her father had a career in the U.S. Navy, and her family moved pretty much every two years. Meanwhile, her mother taught school.

In 1976 while at W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia, she auditioned for a spot in the traveling performing group Up With People while also applying for the U.S. Naval Academy (that was the first year that women were accepted there).
“Right about the time I was to take the [Academy] physical training test, Up With People said, ‘We need a response, we need an answer,’ and I had to make a choice,” Dowse recalled in a 2015 interview. “Was I doing the Navy for my dad or was I going to do the theater for me? And I chose me.”
After graduating in 1980 from Norfolk State University and living in Germany with her folks for seven-plus years — she also worked in theater while overseas — she moved to L.A. when she was 30. She found gigs as an extra, which led her to getting a line of dialogue on a 1989 episode of the NBC sitcom ALF.
“It got me into the union, and I got an agent after that,” she said.
While she was building her acting career, she worked as an operator at an answering service and for five years as an office manager at a Westwood law firm.
Dowse also was a recurring character on NBC’s Built to Last in 1997, ABC’s Secrets and Lies in 2015-16 and Bravo’s Imposters in 2017-18.
She also showed up on episodes of Roc, Seinfeld, Touched by an Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, NewsRadio, ER, Party of Five, Judging Amy, Charmed, Law & Order, Bones, Rizzoli & Isles, Murder in the First, 9-1-1, Grey’s Anatomy and Snowfall.
Her film résumé included performances in Sneakers (1992), Bio-Dome (1996), Starship Troopers (1997), Pleasantville (1998), Requiem for a Dream (2000) and Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001).
For 18 years, Dowse taught acting and directed plays at the Amazing Grace Conservatory, a weekend performing arts school for students ages 8-18 in inner city Los Angeles.
In 2016, she helmed the musical Recorded in Hollywood at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City, then guided Daughters of the Mock for The Negro Ensemble Company in New York a year later. She won several NAACP Image Awards for directing during her career.
“Of all of it, I love theater,” she said. “It doesn’t pay the bills, but it feeds the soul.”
Kim Kardashian opens up about feeling insecure after Kanye West split
No sex tape or 72-day marriage brought Kim Kardashian down, but a bad outfit? That’s a career killer, according to Kanye West.
During this week’s episode of The Kardashians, Kim opened up about feeling insecure about her looks following her split from West. In November, the SKIMS founder started dressing herself for the first time in almost a decade — and the rapper had a sharp response.
“I got to a point where I would ask [Kanye] for advice for everything down to what I wear. Even now I’m having panic attacks, like, what do I wear?” Kim told sister Kourtney Kardashian.
Kim said she was “so nervous” to choose her own outfit for WSJ. Magazine’s 2021 Innovator Awards. She opted for a faux leather look from her SKIMS x Fendi collection, which wasn’t “pre-vetted” per usual.
“[Kanye] called me afterwards. He told me my career’s over and then he showed me a picture of Marge Simpson wearing something similar,” Kim revealed.
Later on in the episode, Kim explained that she had “never really been the visionary” when it came to fashion and that West had a hand in styling everything from her wardrobe, to her hair, to her makeup.
“That’s his love language is clothes,” she explained. “I always just trusted in him, but it’s not just about clothes. That was, like, the last thing we had really in common.”
Kim added: “I’m trying to figure out, like, who am I in the fashion world? Who am I by myself? I was always, like, The Kardashians with my sisters and then I was, like, Kimye. Like, who is Kim K? That is the jump. How do I get there without Kanye?”
Scott Disick was shocked to hear Kim talk about feeling insecure.
“It’s so crazy to me that Kim would ever, ever think or be insecure about her looks because she’s maybe the most famous person in the world for being the most beautiful person in the world,” he told the camera. “So, kinda cool to know that everybody has their own insecurities sometimes, but at the end of the day, nobody really does it better than her.”
The Kardashians are release Thursdays at 12 a.m. on Hulu.

‘Insecure’ Season 5 Premiere: AKA Backlash, Amanda Seales, Issa Rae
Social media can be stranger than fiction at times. This is what actress Amanda Seales learned after Sunday’s Insecure Season 5 premiere.
Seales’ character Tiffany — who is an Alpha Kappa Alpha “soror,” or sister — wore several pink-and-green AKA-inspired outfits and the sorority’s shield in the college reunion-themed episode, as she’s done a number of times in the show’s five-year history. (Read our full premiere recap here.) But for whatever reason, this time around, her fashion caught the attention of women who are actually in the sorority, who then took to Twitter to angrily attack the show and its costar because she is not an AKA in real life.
“I don’t know why people keep asking me if I’m a soror,” Seales said in an Instagram video in response to the AKA backlash. “I am not a soror. Tiffany is a soror. Tiffany is a character on a TV show. I didn’t write the character. I play the character. I’m an actress, and I’m playing a character on a TV show.”
Seales then said in another video that she would’ve crossed the burning sands and pledged AKA if she’d had the time in graduate school at Columbia University, but she didn’t. Insecure‘s Molly, played by Yvonne Orji, is also an AKA but rarely wears as much pink-and-green insignia as Tiffany. Orji is also not a member of the sorority in real life.
“I think reality TV done really got folks f–ked-up… I’m just playing a character,” Seales added. “I feel like some folks really forget like it’s a TV show.”
In one tweet, a fan of the show demanded that co-creator and star Issa Rae and HBO not disrespect AKAs by allowing a non-member to play one. Ever the jokester, Rae responded, “Oh s–t, let me tell @HBO to delete one of the upcoming episodes then, hold on.”
What do you think of Amanda Seales playing an AKA on Insecure? Is it disrespectful or fictional fun? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
9-Year Study Reveals The Lasting Effects Childhood Trauma Has on Adult Relationships
An ongoing study among more than 2,000 adults in the Netherlands has found childhood maltreatment is associated with lower quality relationships later in life.
Past research has also found childhood abuse or neglect can lead to insecure attachment patterns in adulthood, but the current study goes further and suggests these issues arise primarily from severe depression associated with that childhood trauma.
The large cohort has been tracked for nearly a decade already. In the first, second, fourth, and sixth years of the study, researchers assessed participants for depression and anxiety. In the fourth year, the presence of childhood maltreatment was also evaluated. In the ninth year, the participants had the quality of their relationships assessed as well as their attachment styles.
Slightly more than three-quarters of the group reported a history of depression or anxiety.
Similar to previous findings, the authors found respondents with a history of maltreatment also had more severe depression and anxiety.
These individuals also reported lower quality relationships and higher levels of insecure attachment, including anxious attachment – exemplified by extreme levels of intimacy with low levels of autonomy – and avoidant attachment – exemplified by high levels of autonomy and discomfort with intimacy.
Researchers tested various pathways to figure out what all these factors might have to do with one another. When controlling for gender, age, and level of education, they found the relationship between maltreatment and poor quality intimate relationships was “fully mediated” by insecure attachment and depression severity.
The researchers modeled six different pathways to see how one leads to the other, and findings indicated two distinct pathways by which this insecure attachment can develop. The strongest pathway connects childhood maltreatment to increased depression severity, anxious attachment, and, finally, to lower quality relationships.
“This pathway indicates that some individuals, who reported being maltreated during childhood, may develop low mood and other depressive symptoms, become more dependent and unconfident, which may be perceived as clingier, and experience more distress in the relationship, which might subsequently affect the relationship quality,” the authors write.
The second pathway links maltreatment to depression as well, but this time it is the avoidant attachment that leads to lower quality relationships.
That final step occurs, the authors explain, because partners with avoidant attachment tend to reject intimacy and find it harder to trust and rely on others.
Both of these pathways will need to be replicated in further research, especially if we want to know how and why each factor might lead to another.
While the sample size in this research was quite large, some individuals with severe depression dropped out of the study, which means it might not be fully representative.
What’s more, because childhood maltreatment was recalled from the past, it’s hard to say if the memories reported are accurate.
Nevertheless, the findings largely align with research showing childhood abuse or neglect can have lingering effects on a person’s health and wellbeing later in life.
“Informing parents, teachers, general practitioners, and the general public about the possible destructive impact of childhood maltreatment on mental wellbeing and intimate relations, may lead to better recognition and earlier detection,” the authors suggest.
The study was published in Child Abuse & Neglect.
