"Polly" (1989) is a made-for-television musical that aired on NBC's "Magical World of Disney." Disney adapted the movie from the 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter, "Pollyanna," which Disney originally made a version of the novel in 1960 under the same title. The 1989 version comprises a majority black cast, and Debbie Allen is responsible for the film's direction. Due to the immense popularity of "The Cosby Show" during the mid to late 80s, the actors saw remarkable success in roles outside of their norm. So naturally, Cosby kids was a rating boost for any network that featured them in TV movies or shows. But, this time, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Phylicia Rashad led an excellent cast of actors in one of the most underrated musicals. This film isn't just any type of musical. It's brilliantly performed and well-made. Most of the leading actors and actresses got to sing and dance. Debbie Allen colorfully illuminates every scene with beauty and grace with her choreography, which the Emmys nominated her for "Outstanding Choreography." Included with Pulliam and Rashad are Dorian Harewood, Barbara Montgomery, T.K. Carter, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Brandon Quintin Adams, Larry Riley, and Brock Peters. Notable guest stars also include Butterfly McQueen ("Gone with the Wind") and Celeste Holm ("Oklahoma"). Joel McNeely is responsible for the soundtrack score, which Harold Wheeler ("The Wiz") also supervised. Debbie and her husband, Norm Nixon, composed one of the music numbers called "Stand Up." Some of the tracks are "Shine a Light" (sung by Dorian Harewood and Larry Riley), "Honey Ain't Got Nothin' on You" (Vanessa Bell Calloway), "Something More" (Phylicia Rashas), and "Sweet Little Angel Eyes" (Bandon Adams and TK Carter). I recommend this movie. The music is excellent, and the attire is beautiful. The story is a cheerful one with many feel-good moments. The actors have experience in performing arts, and many came from Broadway. This film has all the essences of Broadway and then some. Director: Debbie Allen Writers: William Blinn (teleplay), Eleanor H. Porter (novel "Pollyanna") Starring Keshia Knight Pulliam, Phylicia Rashad, Dorian Harewood, Barbara Montgomery, T.K. Carter, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Brandon Quintin Adams, Ken Page, Larry Riley, Butterfly McQueen, Brock Peters, Celeste Holm, George Anthony Bell, Michael Peters, Vickilyn Reynolds Vickilyn Reynolds Storyline Set in 1955, in times of racial segregation, a mythical all-black Alabama town called Harrington is owned by the non-sense Aunt Polly (Phylicia Rashad). She believes life is a serious matter and frowns upon any joyful noise. However, things change when Polly (Keshia Knight Pulliam) arrives as an orphan from Detroit. She is a ray of sunshine to a stoic Aunt and a town torn between their affliction between each other.

today we honor and celebrate the legacy of danitra vance, who was a highly regarded stage actress and comedian.

danitra vance was the first black woman and first out queer woman to become a cast regular on saturday night live.

the chicago born artist mounted her own off-broadway show, “danitra vance & the mell-o white boys”, in 1984. the village voice wrote, “stabs while she entertains...vance creates an unsettling tension among stereotypes and conditions that create stereotypes.”

the chicago born artist mounted her own off-broadway show, “danitra vance & the mell-o white boys”, in 1984. the village voice wrote, “stabs while she entertains...vance creates an unsettling tension among stereotypes and conditions that create stereotypes.”

danitra became an SNL cast regular for just one season in 1985. vance was dyslexic and struggled to remember her lines and would often times ad-lib her lines w/ great success. her most remembered sketch was “that black girl”, the spoof of the 60’s show “that girl.”

although danitra proved herself to be a strong comedic actress, she was frustrated with SNL writers who put kept putting her in stereotypical roles. this was made apparent in the 1986 episode hosted by oprah winfrey where vance player lorne michael’s personal slave.

after SNL, and despite winning an NAACP award in 1986, tv and movies roles were far and few in between. danita returned to the stage and appeared in george c. wolfe’s play, “the colored museum.” the play was televised in PBS in 1991.“the hairpiece”, featured danitra starring along side brilliant actors, vickilyn reynolds and loretta devine.

in 1991, danitra was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a single mastectomy. she continued to write and perform her own material. unfortunately, the cancer recurred in 1993. danitra died in the following year. she was just 40 years old.

danitra vance’s time in the limelight and on the earth was brief but her quite impact continues to be felt. she was black, queer and unapologetic creative.

miss danitra is black queer history!

A year after earning her undergraduate degree from The University of Houston, Loretta Devine launched her career as a action director at the Black Arts Center in Houston, Texas. Her 1st acting experience arrived five years later in 1977 when she landed a musical role on the off-off-Broadway production of “Godsong” at the prestigious La MaMa Etc. company in New York City. Shortly thereafter, she moved on to Broadway with a part in the revival of “Hair” (also 1977), and enjoyed her first enormous success as Lorell on Michael Bennett’s award-winning Broadway production, “Dreamgirls” (1981).

The same year she gained attention in “Dreamgirls, Devine broke into film in a 1981 independent drama called “Will,” starring Obaka Adedunyo, and followed it up with a small part as a school teacher named Ms. Benson on the science fiction “Anna to the Infinite Power” in 1983. She, however, subsequently disappeared from the screen and was put back on the public attention in 1986 when she had multiple roles on the off-Broadway production of George C Wolfe’s “The Colored Museum,” from which she was praised for her performances. The same year, she also acted in the musical “Big Deal,” by Bob Fosse.

1987 saw Devine make her TV series debut in the first season of NBC comedy “A Different World,” where she played Stevie Rallen, the dorm director. Her first TV-movie was in the 1988 “The Murder of Mary Phagan,” a drama/history which starred Jack Lemmon. It was also in 1988 that Devine made his return to feature films when she had small parts in Richard Benjamin’s “Little Nikita” and Catlin Adams’ comedy, “Sticky Fingers.” She rounded out the decade by making two TV movies, the sequel “Parent Trap III” and “Heart and Soul” (both 1989).

Entering the 1990s, Devine identified herself starring in her first television series, “Sugar and Spice” (1990), in which she portrayed a cost-free-spirit who joins her bourgeois sister (played by Vickilyn Reynolds) to raise their unparented nieces. The CBS sitcom, however, only had a short life, and throughout the decade, she continued to land guest starring or recurring roles in such series as “Murphy Brown” (1990), “Reasonable Doubts” (1992), Fox’s “Roc” (1992-1993), “Picket Fences” (1995), “Touched by an Angel” (1997) and “Moesha” (1999). She also acted in a lot of TV films, including reprising her stage role of Janine in the PBS version of “The Colored Museum” (1991), teaming up with Alfre Woodard in “Funny Valentines” (1999, earned a Black Reel nomination for Network/Cable- Best Supporting Actress) and supporting Halle Berry in Berry’s Emmy-winning performance in “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge” (1999).

Meanwhile, on the big screen front, Devine opened up the 1990s in a supporting role as an employed woman in the drama/romance “Stanley and Iris” (1990), along side opposite Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro, and then delivered a solid performance as the trustworthy sister on the indie-comedy “Livin’ Large” (1991), for director Michael Schultz. A string of supporting roles followed, most notably as Christopher Martin’s mother in Randall Miller’s “Class Act” (1992), before she scored breakthrough screen role on Forest Whitaker’s “Waiting to Exhale” (1995), scripted by Terry McMillan from his novel. Finely supporting Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett as Gloria ‘Glo’ Matthews, she was handed her first Image Award in 1996. This led to her next memorable role as Beverly on the Penny Marshall-directed “The Preacher’s Wife” (1997), which starred Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston and won Devine a second Outstanding Supporting Actress Image Award. Devine next could be seen in such little seen films as “The Price of Kissing” and “Lover Girl” (both 1997) and as Reese Wilson, a university security guard, in “Urban Legends,” opposite Jared Leto and Alicia Witt, and Zenia, an affectionate caregiver of an Alzheimerâ€s patient, in the moving drama “Down in the Delta” (both 1998). 1999 saw her in three films, including “The Breaks” and “Operation Splitsville.”

A voice-over actress at the Eddie Murphy-developed animated series “The PJs” (Fox, 1999-2001), in which she starred as Muriel Stubbs, Devine’s television career gained much enhance when she won the supporting role of Marla Hendricks on the Fox hailed high school drama, “Boston Public,” which ran from 2000 to 2005. As the fervent high school teacher, she picked up three Images for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (2001, 2003 and 2004) and two Golden Satellite nominations for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Drama (2003, 2004).

In addition to her TV series assignments, Devine went on to chase other projects. She reprised her role of Reese Wilson on the installment “Urban Legends: Final Cut” (2000), appeared as a doorwoman in the Mel Gibson-Helen Hunt comedy hit “What Women Want” (2000), played the domineering mother, Marguerite, in the comedy “Kingdom Come” (2001), from which she netted an Image nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Think about, and was cast as a social worker named Margaret Calgrove in the custody battle drama “I Am Sam” (2001), which won star Sean Penn an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. After having a recurring role on “Half & Half” (2003), Devine returned to the wide screen with triumph in “Woman Thou Art Loosed” (2004, as Cassey Jordan ) and the Oscar Best Picture winning film “Crash” (2005, as Shaniqua Johnson), which screened at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2004 and helmed and penned by Paul Haggis. She was nominated for an Independent Spirit for Best Supporting Female and an Image for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her work in the first feature and won a Black Reel for Best Ensemble and a Black Movie nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her work in the latter.

Following the cancellation of “Boston Public,” Devine was cast as Miss Gladys, Malcolm Kingâ€s prophylactic financial secretary, on the comedy film “King’s Ransom” (2005), with Anthony Anderson, and back to series TV to play M. Pearl McGuire on the Lifetime drama “Wild Card” (2004-2005) and Adele Webber on nine episodes of the ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy” (2005-2007). She also had recurring roles on “Girlfriends” (2005-2006), as Judge Jackson, and the CW sitcom “Everybody Hates Chris” (2006-2007), as Tichina Arnold’s mother. Her a lot more recent film projects include “Dirty Laundry” (2006), the big screen version of “Dreamgirls” (2006), in which she made a cameo appearance as a jazz singer, “Life Is Not a Fairytale: The Fantasia Barrino Story” (2006, TV), where she received a 2007 Image nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special, Christopher Duddy’s “Cougar Club” (2007, as Dolly), the Preston A. Whitmore II-directed/written “This Christmas” (2007), from which she netted an Image nomination for her scene-stealing role of Shirley Ann ‘MaDere’ Whitfield. In “First Sunday” (2008), a comedy/crime film by director/writer David E. Talbert and starring Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan, Devine was cast as Sister Doris McPherson.

Currently, the 59-year-old actress portrays Patti on the ABC supernatural legal drama “Eli Stones” (2008-?), starring Jonny Lee Miller in the title role of the San Fransisco lawyer. She is scheduled to play Dr. Racine Marguerite on the comedy film “Spring Breakdown” (2008) and Miss Esther on Dan Neira’s drama, “Touched” (2008).
