The Dichotomy of Hattie McDaniel

Screenwriter/Director Vincent Victoria offers a historic film about the contradictory life of the first African American Academy Award Winner

WORLD PREMIERE

The Dichotomy of Hattie McDaniel, a new film spotlighting the groundbreaking achievements of McDaniel, the first African American to win an Academy Award, is set to premiere on October 26. This film offers a poignant tribute to her legacy, coinciding with the anniversary of her death due to breast cancer. McDaniel made history in 1940 with her Oscar-winning performance as Mammy in the classic adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's novel, Gone with the Wind. The film delves into her life, career, and the challenges she faced while breaking barriers in Hollywood, serving as a powerful reminder of her enduring impact on the entertainment industry and the ongoing struggle for racial equality, equity, and the right to be seen and heard. With a rich screenplay by Vincent Victoria and dynamic performances by top Houston talent, the film promises a highlight of the fall arts season in Houston.
