Charlayne Woodard

The singer Brandy Norwood is often lauded as the first black Cinderella; however, Charlayne portrayed Cinderella in Cindy (1978).

I have been doing other people's plays all my life, and even though I've been doing solo plays, that was just so other people could see that I could be the lead in their plays. When I first wrote "Pretty Fire" it was just so I could get a job in a play where I didn't have to sing.
