Skye Townsend proves that funny runs in the family. The 18-year-old daughter of actor-writer-director Robert Townsend is also a multi-hyphenate talent in her own right: actress-singer-visual artist-comedienne. Her hilarious, dead-on Beyonce video spoofs on YouTube have gone viral, with over 1 million hits combined.
