Morgan has appeared in a number of film and TV productions, and may be best known for the role of [[Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter|Angie Baxter–Hubbard]] on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] soap opera ''[[All My Children]]''. 

Morgan was the first African American to win the [[Daytime Emmy Award]] for [[Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series|Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series]] for her performance as Angie in 1989. She is also known for her role as the Seer in the fourth and fifth seasons of ''[[Charmed]]''. In film, her performance as Mozelle Batiste-Delacroix in ''[[Eve's Bayou]]'' (1997) earned critical acclaim and the [[Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female]]. More recently she played a recurring role as Estelle Green in the [[starz]] crime drama series ''[[Power (TV series)|Power]]'' and its spinoff ''[[Power Book II: Ghost]]'' from 2014 to 2021, and also co-starred in the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] drama series ''[[Our Kind of People]]''. 

==Early life==
Morgan was born in [[Dunn, North Carolina]],{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}} the daughter of Lora, a teacher, and George Morgan Jr., a butcher. She has a younger sister, Terry. The family relocated to the Bronx when Morgan was still a child. In a 1997 interview with ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'', Morgan revealed that her father was an abusive alcoholic. While he never physically harmed his daughters, Morgan recalled her mother running from her father often. Her father died of [[leukemia]] in 1975.<ref name=People1997/> Morgan graduated from [[Aquinas High School (New York)|Aquinas High School]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Pietrafesa |first=Dan |title=Students, Staff Are Grateful for the Aquinas Experience |url=https://www.cny.org/stories/students-staff-are-grateful-for-the-aquinas-experience,22414 |website=Catholic New York |date=June 2, 2021 |access-date=November 4, 2021}}</ref>

==Career==
Morgan's earliest film role was in the movie ''[[Monkey Hustle]]'' in 1976. She played the role of Vi. Morgan's earliest recurring role was on ''[[What's Happening!!]]'' from 1976 to 1977 as Diane Harris, and also appeared on ''[[Good Times]]''.  In 1979, she received critical acclaim for her portrayal of [[Alex Haley]]'s great-aunt Elizabeth Harvey on the 1979 miniseries ''[[Roots: The Next Generations]]'', and her guest-starring role as Curtis Jackson's ex-girlfriend turned prostitute on ''[[The White Shadow (TV series)|The White Shadow]]''. Her most notable role was [[Angie Baxter Hubbard]] on the [[soap opera]] ''All My Children'', a role she originally played from January 1982 to July 1990. Her portrayal of Angie struck a chord with many Black viewers across America. Angie and her love interest, [[Jesse Hubbard (All My Children)|Jesse Hubbard]] ([[Darnell Williams]]), became the first [[African-American]] "[[supercouple]]" on daytime soap operas.  In 1989, Morgan won the [[Daytime Emmy Award]] for [[Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series|Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series]] (which she shares with ''[[Santa Barbara (TV series)|Santa Barbara]]'' actress [[Nancy Lee Grahn]]). She and Williams also co-hosted a music video show titled ''[[New York Hot Tracks]]'' in the mid-1980s.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

After leaving ''All My Children'', Morgan played the role of Chantal Marshall on the NBC soap opera, ''[[Generations (American TV series)|Generations]]'' (replacing actress [[Sharon Brown (actress)|Sharon Brown]]) and remained with the show until it ended. She then reprised her role as Angie Hubbard on ABC's ''[[Loving (TV series)|Loving]]'' in 1993. In 1995, she brought the same character to ''[[The City (1995 TV series)|The City]]'' (a retooled version of ''Loving''), making Morgan one of the few performers to portray the same character on three different soap operas. <!-- With a distinct premiere, different setting, different theme/mood and even a different style of filming, "The City" is a different series from "Loving", despite the fact that it shares a number of characters.--> From 1997 to 1998, she also  played Dr. Ellen Burgess on ''[[Port Charles]]''. In the 1980s and 1990s, Morgan became a ''de facto'' symbol for the possibilities for black women as all of her soap opera roles involved her playing a successful doctor.

Morgan earned acclaim from movie critics for her portrayal of clairvoyant Mozelle Batiste Delacroix in director [[Kasi Lemmons]]' drama film ''[[Eve's Bayou]]'' (1997).<ref name=yahoo>{{cite web|url=https://movies.yahoo.com/person/debbi-morgan/biography.html |title=Debbi Morgan |publisher=Movies.yahoo.com |access-date=November 18, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927213442/http://movies.yahoo.com/person/debbi-morgan/biography.html |archive-date=September 27, 2013 }}</ref> For her portrayal, she won a [[Chicago Film Critics Association]] Award and an [[Independent Spirit Award]] and was nominated for an [[Image Award]].
