My Take
Margaret Avery commands deep respect from me as a true veteran of her craft. Born in Mangum, Oklahoma in 1944, she worked her way up from the stage and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination for Scott Joplin. As a Black actress navigating Hollywood through the 1970s and beyond, including the era of The Color Purple, she carved out a path that was anything but smooth. Trained at San Francisco State and capable across film, television, and song, she shows remarkable range. That she still keeps an official presence speaks to a working artist's pride, and I find that longevity genuinely formidable.
