Nina Mae McKinney to serenade you on
this Monday. Nina was an
actress and singer. She starred
in Hallelujah!(1930) one of the first
Black musicals made in Hollywood.
She is considered one of the first
Black beauties of Film. A title well
deserved.

How have you been doing? Spring fever got to you yet? Everyone seems to be in a bit of funk ~ myself included.
Thanks for sharing the video ~ I am ashamed to say I never hear of Nina Mae McKinney.
Hope your day is a good one.

I haven't any knowledge of Nina before watching the video. My earliest of black actresses is probably Dorothy Dandridge. Although, judging from the film, I can definitely see why she would be considered as the first beauty of film musical.
