Aahhh - Ruby Dee - certainly one of few eminently watchable, and always compellingly believable performers, in all three media - stage, film and TV. She left high marks to be striven for by anyone.

Fully agree, Gene. I've just watched her brief appearance in 1979's tv film I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRDS SING to add it to Black Film Archive and it perfectly illustrates your point.

Thank you Maya. Enjoyed being reminded of Ruby Dee and the shoulders that the children stand on.
