Actress Natalie Desselle-Reid has died at 53 after a private battle with colon cancer.
Desselle-Reid's death was announced on her Instagram page Monday afternoon.
She was best known for roles on the UPN series Eve (2003-2006) and the Robert Townsend-directed 1997 comedy B.A.P.S., in which she played a waitress in Georgia who ends up caring for a Beverly Hills millionaire and living the life of "Black American Princesses." The cult classic famously co-starred Halle Berry.
Desselle-Reid also appeared in the racially diverse 1997 retelling of Cinderella, starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, and Madea's Big Happy Family (2001).
She is survived by her husband, Leonard, and children Sereno, Summer and Sasha.
