when she joined a theater group in Harlem. She was nicknamed "Butterfly"
after dancing in the butterfly ballet in a production of A Midsummer Night's
Dream. McQueen 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. McQueen 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.
