Toukie Smith, a model and actress known for the NBC sitcom “227” and a guest appearance on “Miami Vice,” has died at 74. Multiple outlets identify her work on screen as including her role on “227” and appearances in other TV and film projects.
Several reports also connect her personal life to former partner Robert De Niro and note that she had twin children. Deadline adds that Smith dies on November 4 after a long battle with multiple sclerosis, and it includes a quote from her children praising her impact.
Other coverage is more concise, focusing on her career highlights and her age at death, without adding additional medical or family details. Overall, the outlets largely agree on her age, key credits, and her connection to “227,” while differing in how much context they provide about her cause of death and family statements.
