Scott Gries/NBC At 24, Erika Alexander stepped onto the set of Yvette Lee Bowser’s Fox sitcom “Living Single,” opposite veteran Queen Latifah, and became an icon. Maxine Shaw, attorney at law, was unlike any character previously depicted on television. Dressed to kill with an insatiable appetite and a sharp tongue that was either directed at Kim Fields’ divaesque Regine Hunter or Max’s nemesis-turned-lover Kyle Barker (T.C. Carson), Maxine was a self-assured Black woman who spoke her mind, centered herself and always demanded the very best. Now, nearly 30 years after the final credits rolled on the Brooklyn-set show, Alexander has returned to her roots.
