The movie was based in 1962 when they were interviewing her and she's 110 years old. But she talks about her life as a slave through reconstruction, through Jim Crow. And one of those roles that's kind of heartbreaking. I mean, tragic as was Sounder same thing. And then you go to Roots, where she played Kunta Kinte's mother, another tragic role. So she played some of the toughest, I think, the most difficult roles in Hollywood in the 70s

And some people believe that death is not the end. That is just ascending. And that would be what I would like to think for her that she's not dead. She's just ascending and she's in a better place where things are not like this. You don't have to wear a mask. You don't have to worry about any of this virus thing that's going on

But I do remember that by the time Roots came around and what was the thing she did about Harriet Tubman, a woman called Moses? I was actually, like, excited to see those because I knew Sisley Tyson was in it. And her portrayal of Jane Pittman had been so memorable. I was like, this is going to be a good show because she's in it. She's just that phenomenal an actor
