Four Time Oscar Nominatied Actress! A Legend!!!
Ethel Waters (1896 - 1977) was a blues, jazz singer and an actress. To be out as a #lesbian actress in #Hollywood is still rare. We can’t begin to imagine the struggles that Ethel Walters faced as a black lesbian entertainer in the early part of the 20th Century. She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 1949 for the film Pinky, directed by Elia Kazan. She is also the first African-American woman to be nominated for an Emmy Award, in 1962.

“The Father”, one of the movies nominated for Best Picture at the 2021 Oscars, tells the story of Anthony, an aging man dealing with dementia and the inability to make sense of what is happening to him. This is the directorial debut of Florian Zeller, who co-wrote the screenplay, based on Zeller’s play “Le Père”. The play is in French, and the main character is called André, but Zeller decided to write the screenplay in English and change the name to Anthony because the only actor he could imagine playing the part was Anthony Hopkins.

“The Father - Nulla è come sembra”, uno dei candidati nella categoria Miglior film agli Oscars 2021, racconta la storia di Anthony, un uomo anziano che soffre di demenza senile e non riesce più a capire quello che succede intorno a lui. È l’esordio alla regia di Florian Zeller, che ha co-scritto la sceneggiatura basata sulla pièce teatrale di Zeller “Le Père”. Il copione teatrale è in francese, e il protagonista si chiama André, ma Zeller ha deciso di scrivere la sceneggiatura in inglese e cambiare il nome in Anthony perché l’unico attore che riusciva a immaginare nella parte era Anthony Hopkins.
