Fact or FictionNineteen eighty-four is pro-ving to be a banner year forBlack actors and actresses inHollywood. . Films such «asBreakinT, Beat Street and theforth-coming Conan, TheDestroyer have all utilized the_ talents of Black performers infeatured or supporting roles.After many compfaints from =the NAACP, unemployedBlack actors, and disgruntledaudiences, the movie industryappears to have given in topressure and is producing~~Black-orientedTT films at asteady paceWhat has caused this cur-rent flood of Black-orientedfilms? Perhaps this trend hasbeen aided by the success ofLouis Gossett, Jr.( An Officerand A Gentleman ), the firstBlack actor to win any type ofOscar since Sidney PoitierTsbest actor victory ( Lillies ofthe Field ), in 1963. Anotherpossible reason may be thepopularity . of |~~breakdancingTT, which isclosely associated with Blacks.Whatever the reason, it ap-pears that Hollywood has onceagain accepted Blacks as asource of cinema entertain-ment.Faced with the next-to-impossible task of findingwork in Hollywood, manyBlack performers chose televi-sion and Broadway, wheremore opportunity existed. ©~~Hollywood has never trulybeen an ~equal opportunity~employer.T From the goldenoldies to the currentblockbusters, the movies havetended to ignore or under-represent Blacks. :WILLIAM PETERSONBut has it? Before Black au-diences settle back and enjoythe apparent change of mindin the movie industry, it mightbe advisable to look back atanother time when Black ac-tors and actresses graced thesilver screen. During the earlyand mid-seventies, theaterswere flooded . with movies(Shaft, Lady Sings The Blues,Claudine, Sounder )aimed atmostly Black audiences, andfor a short time, it appearedthat these movies, as well asothers similar to them, wouldbe made by the movie industryfor years to come.However, the rage for~~ethnicTT films diminished,and with it, the demand forBlack actors and actresses. Bythe late 1970Ts, Richard Pryor~was the only. Black actorwanted for movies. Black ac-tresses fared even worse, as.not a single one from theseventies period enjoyed morethan occasional exposure infilms,Pal_ | CampaignSome actors and actresses re-mained in Hollywood, and afew managed to find limitedwork in some pictures. Unfor-tunately, most of the parts of-fered to Blacks were ~~tokenTTroles or cameo appearances.However, movies in the ear-ly 1980Ts have slightly expand-ed the horizon for Black per-formers. Films like StirCrazy, 48 Hours, TradingPlaces, and Flashdance aregeneral release pictures thathave starred or featured Blackperformers. Perhaps the suc-cess of these movies, as well asothers, has helped encouragefilm-makers to produce moreBlack-oriented films.The possibility that Blackroles in movies will once againstagnate as it did in the lateseventies surely exists, but it isalso possible that the impen-ding success of Beat Street,BreakinT, and Conan, TheDestroyer will open even moredoors for actors and actresses.With a little luck, maybe the~~newTT trend in the movie in-dustry will become a commonoccurence.~SuccessI often wonder what it isthat brings one man success inlife, and what it is that bringsmediocrity or failure to hisbrother. The difference canTtbe in mental capacity; there isnot the difference in our men-talities indicated by the dif-ference in performance. In~short, I have reached the con- .clusion that some men succeedbecause they cheerfully paythe price of sucess, and others,~ though they may claim ambi-tion and a desire to succeed,are unwilling to pay that price.angles,CLK~ MM.
