James Baskett

James Franklin Baskett (February 16, 1904 – July 9, 1948) was an American actor who portrayed Uncle Remus, singing the song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" in the 1946 Disney feature film Song of the South.

Baskett studied pharmacology as a young man but gave it up to pursue an acting career. He first moved to New York City, New York, where he joined up with Bill 'Mr. Bojangles' Robinson. Using the name Jimmie Baskette, he appeared with Louis Armstrong on Broadway in the 1929 black musical revue Hot Chocolates and in several all-black New York films, including Harlem is Heaven (1932).

He later moved to Los Angeles, California, and had a supporting role in the film Straight to Heaven (1939), starring Nina Mae McKinney. In 1941 he voiced Fats Crow in the animated Disney film Dumbo, and he also had bit parts in several B movies, including that of Lazarus in Revenge of the Zombies (1943), a porter in The Heavenly Body (1944), and native tribal leader Orbon in Jungle Queen (1945). From 1944 until 1948, he was part of the cast of the Amos 'n' Andy Show live radio program as lawyer Gabby Gibson.

In 1945, he auditioned for a bit part voicing one of the animals in the new Disney feature film Song of the South (1946), based on the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris. Walt Disney was impressed with Baskett's talent and hired him on the spot for the lead role of Uncle Remus. Baskett was also given the voice role of Brer Fox, one of the film's animated antagonists, and also filled in as the main animated protagonist, Brer Rabbit, in one sequence. This was one of the first Hollywood portrayals of a black actor as a non-comic character in a leading role in a film meant for general audiences.

Baskett was prohibited from attending the film's premiere in Atlanta, Georgia, because Atlanta was racially segregated by law.

Although Baskett was occasionally criticized for accepting such a "demeaning" role (most of his acting credits were that of African-American stereotypes), his acting was almost universally praised, and columnist Hedda Hopper, along with Walt Disney, was one of the many journalists and personalities who declared that he should receive an Academy Award for his work. Baskett defended the film and his character in it, saying, "I believe that certain groups are doing my race more harm in seeking to create dissension, than can ever possibly come out of the Song of the South."

On March 20, 1948, Baskett received an Academy Honorary Award for his performance as Uncle Remus. He was the first African-American male actor to earn an Academy Award. Additionally, Baskett was the last adult actor to receive an Honorary Oscar for a single performance.

Baskett had been in poor health during the filming of Song of the South due to diabetes and he suffered a heart attack in December 1946 shortly after its release. His health continued to decline, and he was often unable to attend the Amos 'n' Andy radio show he was on, missing almost half of the 1947–1948 season. On July 9, 1948, during the show's summer hiatus, James Baskett died at his home of heart failure resulting from diabetes at age 44. He was survived by his wife Margaret and his mother Elizabeth. He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.

snippet of a breakfast club au i've been thinking about for ages:

James nodded to Mary, as the girl took a sit beside him. Looking around the room, he understood why. Sitting next to your ex was a better option than having to sit next to these losers all day. He couldn't help grimacing as the blonde girl right in the corner stabbed an orange with a pen, juice leaking across the table and dripping onto the floor. The boy in the leather jacket, sitting on the next table along, laughed and leaned over to push his cigarette into the liquid, leaving it on the table.

Mary waringly smiled at him, "Hi, James", she glanced around, "you meet strange people in detention, huh?"

He nodded, "Yeah. Probably best to stick to ourselves, I suppose."

She nodded back, just as Lily walked through the door.

James snorted, "Why on earth is Evans' here?"

Lily turned, hearing him, and let out a huff before sitting the other side of the room, turning to the cardigan-wearing boy behind her, and starting a conversation.

Mary sighed, as Slughorn walked in, "God, this is going to be such a dull day."

Slughorn smiled out to the students, "Welcome to detention!"

The door banged open, and Slughorn practically jumped in surprise.

"Sorry", Peter mumbled, hurrying in and taking in a seat in the middle of the room.

As soon as he sat down, the boy in the leather jacket spit a ball at his head. Peter ignored him.

Slughorn clapped his hands, "Now that everyone is here, shall we get started?"

"No, sir."

Slughorn frowned.

The boy in the leather jacket grinned, "Well it's just that you phrased it as a question. Is it not a question?"

Slughorn chuckled, "No it is not."

James stood up, "I was wondering if I could use this time to practice on the field? We've got that game coming up next week is all."

Lily stuck her hand up, "Sir, I really don't think it would be appropriate to give students special treatment just because they're on some football team."

Slughorn nodded, "Ah, yes. I suppose Lily is right, you'll have to practice after detention is over, I'm afraid... Now! Today you'll each be writing an essay about who you are, why you're in detention, and how you'll approve you're behaviour from now on."

The blonde girl dropped her head against the desk, a loud bang echoing over the room.

The boy in the leather jacket barked a laugh, "I think you just bored Mckinnon to death, Sir."

#breakfast club but british and with more ppl (i put marauder characters into the archtypes but also wanted to add lily & peter) #i also want to add dorcas but idk how to fit them into the dynamic so might not #sirius as the criminal & marlene as the basket case and they're friends (cause i firmly believe allison and bender were friends beforehand) #james is the jock (like the other two i made that fairly obvious) #mary is the princess (and her and james are exes) #remus is the nerd (you might have thought peter was. but he is not. #sirius doesn't ONLY pick on nerds. he's a very fair mean guy. picks on everyone (like bender does. but even fairer) #lily is the teachers pet (we dont have class presidents but she's basically that) #<- and her and james are rivals. #and peter is the art kid (very much keeps to himself/only hangs out with other art kids) #marauders era #marauders #marauders au #james potter #marlene mckinnon #sirius black #mary macdonald #lily evans #remus lupin #peter pettigrew #my writing

*Remus wakes up to a easter basket on his bed*

Remus: What the-

Sirius: The Easter bunny came!

Remus: Pads what are you talking about?

*Remus turns to James and James is glaring daggers at him*

Peter (whispering): He knows! Just play along! I don’t wanna deal with a grumpy Padfoot all morning.

*Remus sighs and sees bunny paw prints*

Remus: For fuck sake!

James would make Regulus all of the baskets. Boo basket, burr basket, be my boo basket, bunny basket, birthday basket, just cause basket. You name it and he definitely made it for regulus.

#marauders #marauders era #the marauders #and regulus would hate it #but regulus would also keep every single thing from each and every basket #he wouldn’t want to take it apart and ruin it #james potter #regulus black #jegulus #i want this #i want love like this

Two years ago I did the TikTok trend of first comfort character talking to recent comfort character. Here's how it went:

Natsu Dragneel: How is she?

Kyo Sohma: He's healing. You'd be proud.

Today I'm doing last comfort character talking to recent and it went like this:

Not everyday is going to be easy but I'm trying and it's helped me meet new fandoms and people I can call friends🥰
