[1] In a 2005 interview, Bogle recalled: In the movie Gone with the Wind, where did Hattie McDaniel live—in the big house or the slaves' quarters?
[1]Bogle's first book, Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks: An Interpretative History of Blacks in Films, was published in 1973.
In it, he identified five basic stereotypical film roles available to black actors and actresses: the servile, avuncular "tom"; the simple-minded and cowardly "coon"; the tragic, and usually female, mulatto; the fat, dark-skinned "mammy"; and the irrational, hypersexual male "buck".
[4] It sparked renewed interest in Dandridge's life, and several Black performers raced to make a film about her.
[7] Whitney Houston acquired the rights to produce a movie based on Bogle's biography,[7] but Halle Berry brought Introducing Dorothy Dandridge to fruition.
