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.

I'm gonna go in order, first and foremost.

This book feels like the story of Marilyn Monroe and Norma Jean. You'll know what I mean once you've read it.

It's compelling, it's a book you'll find yourself not willing to drop once you start it. "One more page, one more chapter."

It did take me 6 days to finish it, but you know how life is.

All in all it's an amazing read, highly recommend it.

Nate Mann has a face of someone who doesn't know what an iPhone is. He belongs to the era. Straight out from a classic Hollywood movie.

IRL Mighty Eighth, they have Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable, both as a commander and a gunner. And I wouldn't be surprised if they both would recognize Nate Mann as one of their actor pals.

Turned on The Ghost and the Guest (1943) because it has Sam McDaniel (Hattie and Etta McDaniel's brother) and was written by Morey Amsterdam (Buddy on The Dick Van Dyke Show).

It's a comedy about a newly-wed couple staying in an old dilapidated house they think is haunted.

The reviews in the day were pretty terrible, but modern day reviews recognise it as a farce of the haunted-house stories that were popular in the day. It's a general B comedy with some fun moments, incompetent coppers, including the man trying to call his bride-to-be on their wedding day and unable to get through for over an hour sending her a telegram to 'get off that blankety-blank phone.'
