Regina Taylor was born in Dallas, Texas, but was raised in Oklahoma.

On Broadway, she became the first African-American to play Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. She went on to do various other parts on and off Broadway, as well as landing roles on television shows (such as Law and Order) and then on the critically acclaimed show I'll Fly Away (1991). Taylor played the role of Lilly Harper on this short lived show, but quickly became an audienceMore favorite.

    Regina Taylor plays as Molly Blane in The Unit. I'm sure she has played in other shows and movies, but I've only seen her in The Unit and so I am only rating her based on her performance in The Unit. Honestly, she doesn't seem that good. She is very mediocre and average. I can see several different actresses playing the character the same way she does. She doesn't bring anything special to the character. So, I would like to see her in another role just to see how she does, but, as for The Unit, she is not that good.
