Career
Hubert was the original Tantomile in the first Broadway run of Cats.
She reportedly left The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air due to a violation of contract that resulted when she became pregnant; the pregnancy and birth of her character Vivian's child, Nicky Banks, was worked into the plot to accommodate the situation.
After she was fired from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Hubert's character was played by Daphne Reid for the remainder of the show's run.
According to Will Smith, the show's star, he and Hubert had difficulties working together long before her pregnancy.
Hubert was also featured in a 2002 episode of Friends as Chandler's boss. In 2005 she began playing the recurring role of Lisa Williamson, mother of attorney Evangeline Williamson, on the soap opera One Life to Live. Her character has made occasional appearances since then. She was also featured as Michel Gerard's mother in an episode of the CW show Gilmore Girls and also made an appearance in an episode of The Bernie Mac Show, playing Mac's overbearing mother-in-law. She has made an appearance in an episode of Tyler Perry's House of Payne.
