If you were a black actor you had to be almost perfect \ casting directors only saw one type male 6 ft+& athletic build, not too dark Female , Pam Grier type body ,beauty queen and casting couch ready, Males too, as there were a lot of "casting couch Stars" walking around. I was dark , medium build at 5'10" fairly good looking...at the End of the Blaxploitation era , acting jobs for blacks just dried up completely. the movies coming out in early 80s you thought Blacks had left the planet.. I hope I find out the Restuarant she manages today, we're practically the same age. I bet she's still quite a looker like another black actress who played the Sandford & Son show, LYN HAMILTON gorgeous ,ageless lady Lamont fell in love with but was too old for him to marry.(TV dumbness) I still do community plays here and there, but I write and perform poetry with jazz groups in LA calif these days. labor of love is all i crave www.hipstersanctuary.com R.J.
