from IMDb:
Gorgeous Theresa Harris, with a luminous shade of brown, appeared with more stars of the Golden Era of Hollywood then almost anyone. She graced the screen with her magnetic presence and made a lot of "dull" movies worthwhile, always stealing scenes from the top stars of the day every chance she got. Although stereotyped by only receiving maid roles, Theresa stepped outside the stereotype any chance she got, to show she was glamorous, classy, beautiful and a true actress. While she often played maids, she always showed dignity, grace and was respected.

MONGO!!!!

Thank you for the pix of Theresa Harris ( Jackaaaaaay I think you filled me in a bit on Theresa's life in a past post).

How...HOW did Theresa Harris keep on doin' what she did when it was so hard for African-American actresses? I'm grateful she did. She was a cutie pie. And her presence and perseverance made a statement.

My actual parents screen lookalikes: Andy Griffith and Helen Crump. (Andy Griffith and Aneta Corsaut). May parents are totally a 50s couple and their look hasn't changed since! My brother looks like Matt Damon and my sister looks like a redheaded Nicole Kidman. Me? I'm the brunette of the bunch and my mother says I look just like Sophia Loren. HAHA I wouldn't pick any other stars to be my parents...who could be better than Andy and Helen? "Awww, shucks, Paw."
