    Thanks for posting this. I read a book written by Susan a while back about her mom and herself and it was very interesting.

    I'll have to look that book up; thank you for mentioning it. I remember Ms. Premice's reign over Broadway and NYC culture writ large in the 70's and was lucky enough to see her perform in 'Bubbling Brown Sugar'.

    Truth be told, I know of Miss Premice more from seeing her in JET and EBONY magazine when I was a kid. The only actual role I saw her play was when she appeared on THE JEFFERSONS as Louise's sister. I vaguely recall her appearing on A DIFFERENT WORLD as well. I was also surprised when I watched Whoopi Goldberg's first HBO special and saw Josephine and Carmen de Lavallade [[another classy lady) seated in the front row.

    Man, I'm obsessed with Premice...and I've reached my limit of free NYT articles this month [[grrr...). Susan's book was utterly amazing. Reese, you've also seen her in her brief scene in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman​ as Mme. Gautier, the soothsayer who tells Jane of impending doom from a white horse.

    After I wrote my last post, I did a Google search on Miss Premice and a photo from JANE PITTMAN came up. So yes, I saw that as well, although I haven't watched it in many years. Might be time to pull it out again.

    Your NYT limit is a bummer but do look the piece up in January. Lots of BIG photos, all beautiful.
