My Hattie McDaniel: A Credit to Her Race
By an Amazon.com customer

	Little Rascals 10 [VHS] Buy used from: $1.58 She's funny in her scene in the school as Buckwheat's mother in Arbor Day.
	Blonde Venus [VHS] Buy used from: $3.90 Hattie plays the maid in New Orleans in this movie.
	Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939 Buy used from: $16.49 In her most known and beloved role, Hattie plays Mammy, the head slave of Tara. She's dignified and intelligent despite her broken English. She is absolutely right for the part.
	Little Rascals 21 [VHS] Buy used from: $1.82 Hattie plays the housekeeper and Buckwheat's mother in Anniversary Trouble.
	China Seas [VHS] Buy used from: $4.26 Hattie plays another maid in this one (isn't it horrible that blacks could barely work in Hollywood?).
	Saratoga [VHS] Buy used from: $9.89 Hattie has a larger role in this film and she sings in it. It is a sad film to watch though; Jean Harlow died halfway through filming.
	Libeled Lady [VHS] Buy used from: $2.98 Again as a maid in a hotel scene.
	The Bride Walks Out Buy used from: $12.99 Yet again, she plays a maid in this film. Somehow, she always manages to stand out though, like a maid you'd be friends with.
	Nothing Sacred Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.07 Hattie has a tiny scene in which she plays the wife of a man scamming a newspaper.
	Great Lie (B&W) [VHS] Buy used from: $5.23 A wonderful part in a good movie, Hattie plays the maid who takes great care of her employer. She sings and takes care of a baby in this film and is so sweet, you want to hug her.
	Show Boat (1936) [VHS] Buy used from: $17.99 Hattie plays Queenie in this film, wife to Paul Robeson's Joe. The two are wonderful together, quarreling constantly but always likable.
	Alice Adams [VHS] Buy used from: $3.25 Here as a bored/lazy hired woman, Hattie is very funny in her small role.
	Since You Went Away Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $8.55 Hattie is a friend of the family during war in this film and she helps break the stereotypical black role by being realistic.
	Thank Your Lucky Stars [VHS] Buy used from: $7.99 Hattie sings "Ice Cold Kay," a snappy jazz number with a heap of other people. We finally get a chance to hear the voice that brought her to Hollywood.
	Carole Lombard - The Glamour Collection (Hands Across the Table/ Love Before Breakfast/ Man of the World/ The Princess Comes Across/ True Confession/ We're Not Dressing) Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $12.44 In True Confession, Hattie has a very small part as a maid. She wants to kill her husband for cheating and asks Fred MacMurray if she'd go to the chair if she did it.
	Ford At Fox Collection: John Ford's American Comedies (Steamboat Around the Bend / Judge Priest / Doctor Bull / When Willie Comes Marching Home / Up the River / What Price Glory) Buy new: $44.99 / Used from: $38.20 Hattie sings many songs in Judge Priest and she has a great scene with Will Rogers where they have a bit of a duet. Also, she has a funny little bit with Stepin Fetchit.
