Brandy starred in the UPN sitcom "Moesha" as the title character, which lasted six seasons and resulted in numerous other roles. She resumed her music career in 1998 with the wildly successful duet with fellow R&B contemporary Monica, "The Boy Is Mine," which went on to become the best selling female duet of all time, and one of the longest-running #1 singles in history.
