Hattie McDaniel Wins An Oscar

February 29th, 2008

On this day in 1940, Hattie McDaniel became the first black woman to win an Oscar.

Of course, she won for her portrayal of Mammy in Gone With The Wind.

It’s kind of ironic that she was the person I picked for today. I just watched Gone With The Wind on the portable dvd player the other night with my Bose headphones so I wouldn’t wake the kids. I was feeling like an oldie and that was the best choice I had at the time.
