While Libby Taylor, Hattie McDaniel, Gertrude Howard weren’t even fully credited for their work in “I’m No Angel” (1933) and they played domestics, the fact that Mae West hired 3 Black American actresses was pretty groundbreaking

This is quite an interesting article about #HattieMcDaniel.
i remember a school outing to a cinema in the city (Naarm) to see #GoneWithTheWind. as a catholic schoolgirl in the 60s i was clueless about a lot of things, had no great idea what the story was about and most of what i remember is that i was bored witless.
in later years, i did come to wonder about McDaniel’s participation in and poor treatment in such a crap industry.a parallel oscar story must surely be that of Octavia Spencer, best supporting actress winner for the 2011 film, #TheHelp. it’s a problematic film on lots of levels (white saviourism, for starters).
I think i read somewhere that magazines re-write themselves every four years, cos there is a fixed number of topics/angles to explore. Don’t know what the cycle length is for film, but even white-ish movies like the help provide a service; they present each succeeding generation of mainly white audiences with a dose of truth they are unlikely to encounter elsewhere, and the help introduced people to the Jim Crow era all over again (as well as the economic class known as white trash, and the subservience of women generally).
the help is mediocre and cringeworthy at times, but there were some knockout performances. Viola Davis was robbed - she deserved a best actress oscar for this, and Jessica Chastain should have got best supporting actress. the film has lots of cringeworthy moments, but giving the oscar to octavia spencer for playing a likeable maid who helped the poor white lady was the worst, just on principle. (None of this is to criticise Octavia Spencer or her performance, it’s just the oscar politics I’m on about here.)anyway, there are worse things in the world…

#TIL about the #TallGrassFilmFestival in Kansas, which is celebrating the first Black actor to have won an Acadamy Award. That would be #HattieMcDaniel of "Gone With The Wind".

I got this from the FB page “Women In World History.”

#BetteDavisBette Davis with Hattie McDaniel. Davis was the only white member of McDaniel’s troupe of performers to perform for black servicemen during WWII. McDaniel was the chair of the Negro Division of the Hollywood Victory Committee. She formed the troupe.

New blog post!
It's a leap year, which means it's our one-in-four-years chance to post about Hattie McDaniel's Oscar win on 29 February 1940. The story of it reflects her own complicated story, and it's still rippling 80 years on from her night at the Coconut Grove.
