That was Prissy, played by Butterfly McQueen.

Hattie McDaniel played Mammy. She got the red petticoat.

I never heard Hattie McDaniel was a "lesbian." Everyone knows that Tallulah Bankhead, born of Southern Nobility,
was totally wanton, or at least that was the "Image" created of her.

Hattie McDaniel is worthy of being honored by America.
She certainly behaved far better than Tallulah.

It was 1968 and there was a theater in town where the movie had been continuously shown since its opening in 1939

Now that's funny!

Tallulah Bankhead stole the movie "LIFEBOAT" - an outstanding performance. I believe Hitchcock directed it.

with the dead guy in the bathtub scene....I always remembered that as a lad

she was way hot young too
