"I would rather play a maid and make 700.00, than be a maid, and make 7.00"

March Bookclub Selection

I fell in love with Hattie McDaniels after reading the book and watching the movie Gone with the Wind.

I understood she was giving the best performance she could with the best role she was given, and I was here for it.

The first black woman to win an Oscar, what an honor.

I did not know much about her personal life, but after reading this book, I love her even more. Her perservance throughout racism, bad marriages, financial issues, poor health, etc. She kept her head up and fought with grace until she died.

This book gave insight on so many black and white actors/ actresses that were involved in Hatties' life. Some good and some not so good.

Thank you, Reshonda Tate, for giving life to Hattie McDaniels' story.

Rest in peace, Mammie!!

Highly Recommend to all my historical fiction readers!!
