Theresa Harris was one of the many under-used and under credited actresses of classic Hollywood. I think I mainly saw her play maids, but she glowed in her roles. Hollywood and it's racial casting. Pet peeve. I don't think much has changed. People say it has, but the tell-tale is that there's almost never a movie or show with a largely black cast that doesn't address the fact that they're black. How often do white casts address their whiteness? It's a shame. Anyhow... Beautiful actress.
