Hattie McDaniel
'I'd rather make $700 a week playing a maid than earn $7 a day being a maid.'
Hattie McDaniel is not recognised enough for being the amazing, talented, powerful woman she was.
She was the first Black woman to sing on the radio. She was the first Black person to win an Academy Award (for Gone with the Wind). She had to accept her award from segregated seating. She was the first Black person to attend the Academy awards as a guest not a servant.
She had a romantic relationship with actress Tallulah Bankhead.
When she died, she left her ex husband $1.
She is just as much part of Golden Era Hollywood as Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and Greta Garbo. Remember her name.
