AWARD-WINNING ACTRESS GABRIELLE UNION TO STAR IN NEW BET MOVIE, @BeingMaryJane
… Movie To Premiere On September 23rd ON BET International
BET hit drama “Being Mary Jane”, starring award-winning actress Gabrielle Union, is to premiere exclusively on BET International in Africa from September 2013.
Celebrating the values of family, strength and independence, “Being Mary Jane” chronicles the complex life of Mary Jane Paul, a fiercely independent and successfully modern African American woman encountering the highs and lows of balancing life, love, family and a demanding career.
Mary Jane Paul seemingly has it all as a beautiful and successful TV news anchor. In reality, she’s a self-sufficient powerhouse with a lacklustre love life who remains devoted to a family that doesn’t share her motivation. How far is she willing to go to find the puzzle pieces that she - and society - insist are missing from her life? Intense drama and unforgettable moments unfold as Mary Jane juggles her life, her relationships, her work and commitments to her family.
