Maya Rudolph and the tragic story of her mother Minnie Riperton
12 August 2020, 14:21
Maya Rudolph has become one of the funniest and best loved comic performers of her generation, thanks to her time on Saturday Night Live and roles in film and TV such as Bridesmaids and The Good Place.
She's likely to become even busier in the coming months (and potentially years), as one of her most famous send-ups on SNL, Kamala Harris, has been named as Joe Biden's running mate in his attempt to become the next US President.
But what you may not know about the supremely talented star, is that her mother was none other than singer Minnie Riperton.
Best known for her songs 'Lovin' You' and 'Inside My Love' among others, Minnie was a very popular star who sadly died at a young age.
This is the story of Maya's relationship with her mother, and how she helped inspire one of the biggest love songs of all time.
