Jenifer Lewis is an American actress and singer. Lewis is known unofficially as "The Mother of Black Hollywood" (also the name of her memoir) given her frequent matriarchal film and television roles. She began her career appearing in Broadway musicals and worked as a back-up singer for Bette Midler before appearing in films Beaches (1988) and Sister Act (1992). Lewis is known for playing roles of mothers in the films What's Love Got to Do With It (1993), Poetic Justice (1993), The Preacher's Wife (1996), The Brothers (2001), The Cookout (2004), Think Like a Man (2012) and in the sequel Think Like a Man Too (2014), Baggage Claim (2013) and The Wedding Ringer (2015), as well as in The Temptations miniseries (1998).

She is also the curator of Galleon Trade, an international art exchange among California, Mexico and the Philippines.
Another variant which should be listed is JENEFER, again widespread in Cornwall. This form occurs 770 times in the Cornish censuses 1841-1891, not far behind Jenifer.
I really think it might be better to say that "Jennifer" is a variant of "Jenifer" rather than vice versa. The spelling Jenifer seems to have been by far the most common one in Cornwall where the name originated. The spelling with two n's only became the most common one because of the character in George Bernard Shaw's play.
