I agree though that she was a brilliant, under appreciated talent.

I'm sure you'd agree that character actors don't always get the kudos they deserve (heck, they're lucky if they get screen credit!), so I especially enjoyed your wonderful tribute to Esther Howard; you did a great job! And how cool that Esther's kinfolk weighed in, too! Thanks for steering me to your awesome post, C.W.!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-68304508890857992532012-03-15T14:56:27.802-07:002012-03-15T14:56:27.802-07:00Thank you so much for commenting.
