Trivia

First African-American female repertory cast member on "Saturday Night Live" (1975).

Was frustrated with being typecast as maids and hookers on "Saturday Night Live" (1975). She also had trouble reading from cue cards due to her dyslexia.

Sang a sad, yet touching song in the 1985-86 "Saturday Night Live" (1975) season finale entitled, "I Played The Maid," which was a twist on Barry Manilow's "I Write The Songs." The song was her farewell to "Saturday Night Live" (1975) fans, and also showed her frustration for being typecast.

Studied drama at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

Attended Roosevelt University in Chicago and graduated with honors.
