I only knew of her work from watching the movie Gone with the Wind. Everyone I watch the movie I cringe and think about how demeaning it must have felt to play the role of Hattie. I cringe at how much pishbacl she must have gotten from her peers for portraying the white man's stereotypical perspective of a slave.

I knew little about Ms. McDaniel other than that she was an actress and won an Oscar for Gone with the Wind. I was intrigued by the book as I was born basically in the middle of the narrative dates. It is an interesting reflection on a time period to read about as it impacted me but is not in my memory bank.

I am embarrassed to say I never heard of her but probably should also be embarrassed to say I have not seen Gone With the Wind. I will correct that oversight soon and am sure I will pay special attention to Hattie’s character with a lot more insight that I would have otherwise.

I honestly had never heard of her. I have never been big at reading about Hollywood stars. I could not have told anyone who she was without the help of Google.

I knew she was the first woman to win an Oscar but that was really all I knew about her.
