4 solid stars. Historical fiction based on the life of McDaniel, the first person of color to get an Oscar (for Gone with the Wind) and her struggles with all that systemic racism & the patriarchy threw at her. She also had to fight against “Old Hollywood�� and the studio system, colorism, several bad husbands and she also successfully fought LA’s infamous “red-lining�� segregation to keep her & her neighbors in their Sugar Hill/West Adams homes. Her drive & perseverance really stand out and this one’s a real eye-opener, even if you think you know her story.
