HATTIE McDANIEL-- Black Ambition, White Hollywood

This newly released harback book by Jill Watts carries the following synopsis on the inside of its jacket.

"My deepest gratitude to Jill Watts for making us aware of the life of the extraordinary Hattie McDaniel -- a multitalented actress and performer who, though outspoken, never lost her humility." --Diahann Carroll
