Actress Rosalind Cash Died in 1995, 13 September 2005
10/10
Author: ktoglesby from United States

Sadly, Rosalind died of cancer in 1995. "Sister, Sister" is a wonderful movie--Diahann and Rosalind Cash are at their best! Even today, this movie is one anyone--black or white, male or female--will enjoy. This movie was filmed four or five years before Diahann's other masterful, leading-lady-performance in the movie 'Claudine.' This movie also is one that portrays African Americans in a positive light--something rare in the '70s. It's kinda neat seeing little Kristoff St. John (now famous as the well-loved character Neil Winters on the soap "The Young and the Restless") playing the tween son of Rosalind Cash's character Freida; wow--he's come a long way and endured a great career (much like Laurence Fishburn, who starred as a young kid in the movie "Earl, Cornbread and Me."It would be pretty cool to see a remake of this movie--starring, say, Angela Bassett, Lynn Whitfield and Halle Berry.
