  1. A black American woman at RADA in the '60s, I am so incrediby impressed by that and the work she went on to do at Arena Stage. She seems younger, but I can't help but wonder if she and Erika Slezak and/or Pamela Payton-Wright were at RADA around the same time. What a great article, so nice to learn more about her. I wonder if they're still together.

  2. Thank you, and no offense taken at all my friend. :)

    Wait, she played the crabby nosy old neighbor in The Women of Brewster Place, right? Wow, I Googled her a couple of years back, I was really taken by her when I saw her on Oprah looking sleek and beautiful out of the old age makeup and I wondered what happened to her (kind of like Margaret Avery). I figured she must have been a theatre actress, like a young Gloria Foster, because I don't recall her having a lot of TV/film credits. Please post, I'd be interested in reading.

  3. Never heard of this, but oh my God, I totally would have watched it. Produced in my neck of the woods, a fine cast of black theatre actors, airing on PBS like Degrassi did in the '80s/'90s, wow... This actually sounds like something WHUT (Howard University's channel in D.C.) would have rerun in the '80s, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see if they have it in their archives. When Googling, it only appears to pop up in obits of Howard Rollins.

  4. Interesting, I'd wondered what was the story behind her casting, if her agent had simply sent her out for that type-specific audition or what. I sat through BB for Beverlee on cable years back. A fan has uploaded just her scenes:
