Denise lost her battle with viral meningitis on Saturday and died aged 64. She was in a coma for a week … this after the disease caused inflammation in the membranes surrounding her brain and spinal cord. Waiting for your permission to load Instagram media. Her sister Tracy said: “It is with a very heavy heart that I inform everyone that my sister, Denise Dawes has gone on to join our family in eternal life.” Denise played Vice President Yvonne Teasley for a decade on the OG “90210” … and that’s just one of her many credits. She played Dr. Rhonda Pine in “Insecure” from 2017-2020. And there were more iconic series he starred in… ‘Coach Carter’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and also appeared in ‘Good Trouble’, ‘Rocket Power’ and ‘The Guardian’.
