Raven Goodwin has tackled numerous projects throughout the course of heracting careerthus far.
As Goodwin stated, the film will cover multiple periods of McDaniel’s life.
“I’ll just say that as of now, it’s still in the works.
My producer, Jami [McCoy-Lankford] is doing all that she can to get this film done.
We’re really, really excited.
I just want to pay homage and just bring a lot of nuance and love to Hattie.”
Portraying the Oscar-winning actress is important to Goodwin, who said she has photos of McDaniel throughout her home.
“I think I have her all over my house, she’s all over my house.
You’re capable, you’re able, because it’s just a huge responsibility in my opinion.
“She laid on the cross, at the end of the day, for everyone.
It’s the highest accolade.
She accomplished what she was supposed to accomplish, it’s just unfortunate the way she was treated.
It’s just insanity.”
I think the only video of her that’s outside of her acting is the Oscar speech.
I’ve looked high and low and I cannot find anything.
I found some of her music that she recorded.
“Single Black Female” is now Lifetime.
