I have never seen Gone With the Wind nor do I desire to ever see it. However I was familiar with Hattie McDaniel. Like many during her time judged her, so did I.
Hattie McDaniel played the hand she was dealt. She worked hard and endured racism and a bunch of loser men! Hattie was not to be played with and I loved that about her.
Ms. Tate did an amazing job of bringing Hattie to life and I felt like I was living during that time. Her success was my success and her hurt was my hurt. The one criticism I have is that the word disdain was used way too much!!!
