Television audiences know her as Adele, the chief's wife on "Grey's Anatomy," or for her role on "Eli Stone," but Loretta Devine is equally at home on stage, movies and television.

She followed that performance with a fiery portrayal in Bob Fosse's "Big Deal." Subsequent work in "Colored Museum" and "Lady Day at Emerson Bar and Grill," cemented Devine's status as one of the most talented and versatile stage actresses.Film roles soon followed, including a poignant turn as a single mother in "Waiting to Exhale" which earned her a NAACP Image Award for Best Supporting Actress. Devine was featured in the Academy Award-winning film "Crash" and the movie of "Dreamgirls." Additional film credits include "I Am Sam," "Kingdom Come," "What Women Want," "Punks," "Hoodlums," "Down in the Delta" and "Stanley and Iris."
On television, Devine received three NAACP Image Awards for her role on David E. Kelly's Fox series "Boston Public." Additional credits include series roles in "A Different World" and Lifetime Television's "Wild Card." Devine also provided the voice of Muriel Stubbs on the beloved animated series, "The PJ's."
Devine graduated from the University of Houston and later received a Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Arts from Brandeis University.
