OPRAH & WHOOPI
I'd be willing to bet that most people who saw the rushes of this 1985 film expected the big star to be Margaret Avery. Instead, the lovely Miss Avery was overshadowed by two immensely talented newcomers: Whoopi & Oprah. Their performances in Spielberg's beautiful homage to the Black Female put these two ladies on the fast track to superstardom. Having not seen this film since its release, I had forgotten what a stud Danny Glover was once upon a time. And I mis-remembered it as having something to do with slavery--which it doesn't, of course, being set in the early 20th century. And it's huge fun seeing Oprah as a fattie! Still fresh after almost a quarter of a century. Watch it again --you won't be disappointed.
