Stars We Lost in 2014

People of Color in Classic Film acknowledges the performers of color that we lost in 2014 (and in late December 2013). 

I send all of my love, prayers, and positive energy to everyone who has lost a loved one this year. I pray that you are able to find overall comfort and happiness in this holiday season.

My thoughts and prayers are also with the loved ones of Meshach Taylor, Elizabeth Peña, Misty Upham, Stephanie Moseley, and Simone Battle. 

Biopics That We Need! (Women)

I am a big fan of biographies and autobiographies. I'm also a sucker for good biopics! I love being able to compare every aspect of a biographical film to the real person. Did the actor look like the person? Did the film incorporate real footage/real audio? Was the movie true to who the person was? Stuff like that.

Below is a slideshow of women who (in my opinion) deserve to have their life stories brought to the screen (and in one case, the stage). I've also included the actresses that I think should play them:

*For some reason the last photo isn't coming up.
