hattie mcdaniel 1898-1952



wrap me up in your arms, hattie. how i would have loved to give hattie a hug. she is the highlight of every scene she's in. as scarlett o'hara's outspoken mammy, she is awesomeness itself.
in response to criticism for some of her film portrayals: 'i'd rather play a maid and make $700 than be one for $7.' an academy award winner and party giver to the creme of hollywood, hattie paved the way for many.
