She and her late husband have just stood for so much over the years.<BR/><BR/>When I read that she was going to appear in American Gangsters I was so glad for her to still be deemed relevant in a movie at this point in her life.<BR/><BR/>She has a beautiful spirit and comes straight through the screen. I hope that we can see much more of her.Sheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280487267612661372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-74499300921275132112008-01-24T00:08:00.000-05:002008-01-24T00:08:00.000-05:00Though Ossie Davis (her late husband) is no longer...Though Ossie Davis (her late husband) is no longer with us, Ruby Dee is still a legend who we should continue to adore and cherish.

They were wonderful people. I do find it more than irritating however that the Oscar's to often recognize the talents of Denzel and Ruby Dee in this case, when they are showcased in films like American Gangster. Don't get me wrong, I hope Ruby is honored. But I am always unhappy to see the "The Color Purple" effect at play in the recognition of black actors.Political Seasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609253738367441591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-16309570772092547432008-01-23T08:54:00.000-05:002008-01-23T08:54:00.000-05:00congratulations & goodluck to her :)tks for leavin...congratulations & goodluck to her :)<BR/><BR/>tks for leaving your fingerprint at my humble place..<BR/><A HREF="http://wirelessbliss.blogspot.com/2008/01/ww-2-moonrise-looks-like-light-bulb.html" REL="nofollow">wirelessbliss: when it rains, it pours...</A>Wirelessblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062886651818178968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-50689401193593407862008-01-23T08:42:00.000-05:002008-01-23T08:42:00.000-05:00I've watched Ruby Dee practically all my life.
