Overview:
This
witty
comedy
draws
upon
the
screwball
films
of
the
1930s
to
take
a
funny
and
irreverent
look
at
racial
stereotypes
in
Hollywood.
This
70-year
journey
carries
us
through
the
life
of
Vera
Stark,
a
headstrong
African-American
maid
and
budding
actress,
and
her
tangled
relationship
with
her
boss,
a
white
Hollywood
star.
When
circumstances
collide
and
both
women
land
roles
in
the
same
Southern
epic,
the
story
behind
the
cameras
leaves
Vera
with
a
surprising
and
controversial
legacy.
