Rolle (1920-1998, born in Pompano Beach, Florida) is probably best known
for her role as Florida Evans in two TV shows, playing Florida as a maid in
Maude (1972-1974) and as the formidable matron of the Evans clan in
Good Times (1974-1979). A stage actress since 1962, Rolle has almost
forty TV and movie shows to her credit between 1964 and 1998, including a
posthumous role in Train Ride (2000), as well as two Broadway shows, and
she was often cast during her early career in plays produced by Robert Hooks and
New York City's Negro Ensemble Company. In the TV movie version of Maya
Angelou's memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1979), Rolle played
Angelou's mother, as shown here with Constance Good, who portrayed the young
Maya. Stain from negative on top corners. Signature light. Pencil note
(unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
