in Harlem. She was nicknamed "Butterfly" after dancing in the butterfly ballet
in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. She debuted on Broadway in
Brown Sugar (1937), and two years later played her first and most
memorable movie role, that of Prissy, the young slave in Gone With the
Wind. After being typecast as a sobbing maid in several films of the
1940s, she grew tired of the image and retired from films in 1947. She continued
intermittent theatrical engagements, and returned to the screen in the early
1970s (Amazing Grace, 1974; The Mosquito Coast, 1986). In 1975 at
the age of 64, she received a bachelor's degree in political science from the
City College of New York. Fine condition.
