@@gwen_kingdomdaughter24 Yes, our ancestors do. The word angel was made up by the Europeans who copied from the Ma'at who was real from Kemet Egypt. They took from some of the principles from the Ma'at and called it commandments.
I love that woman! I really appreciate her insights about preserving black culture from previous generations so it is not forgotten (manner of dress, speech, etc). She would be horrified by what is going on today in 2021.
AND Ms. Rolle's 'Night on Broadway' was conservative, because stageplays are $200-300 per ticket! AND I have known Woodie King for decades, as my mother Juanita Clark started with Ruby Dee and others in his Henry Street Settlement performances. Ms. Rolle was a friend of late mom's and a guest in our Home! RIP to my Queens!
Why would she have to let that be known? Were people in the habit of disrespecting her? What you're describing would be someone with a chip on their shoulder due to an inferiority complex. I don't think she gives that aura in any way.
Something about her , mysteriously reminds me of my dear mother, ironically enough, Helen Martin reminds me of my grandmother, and John Amos looks so much like my father.
My late mom Juanita Clark did many plays under the production & direction of Woodie King at the Henry Street Settlement in NY. What's loving is Ms. Esther Rolle was in my kitchen enjoying coffee & convo with my Mom! QUEENS simply QUEENS! 💙
Bobbie usually starts her interviews with such a CHEERY mood I was at first surprised to hear her start with “how many times have you done this play?” I can tell she was nervous , wonder why… it’s your JOB , a privileged job at that .
Her voice was silk and a roll of thunder!
Great way to put it!💯
Her voice was so beautiful and peaceful.. 😢
Happy Pride Month 🌈
I could look at her face all day. Her face is of an angel!
😂😂😂😂
😒😒😒😒😒🤫😶🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
Her features are beautiful
Trying to be funny is corny asf
She was such a beautiful, unique, Sister., very interesting, intelligent queen, very calming Soul , Rest dear queen !!!
I loved her character on Maude & Good Times,Esther Rolle made the character seem so real she was one of the greats,R.I.H.
She was a beautiful Kween! Another ancestor that watches over us.🙏🏾
Ancestors don't watch over us 🤦🏾♀️
@@gwen_kingdomdaughter24 What do you mean? It's not called angels.

Hopefully not looking UP at us

I love the way she speaks 💕
She was a BEAUTIFUL woman; RIP!
Ms Rolle had the most gorgeous skin, I wish I knew her, I would ask her her skin routine 😻❤️
That's a face that's kissed by the sun 🌞
Her voice is equivalent to the biggest and most snuggliest hug and a bowl of Jamaican Gungu pea Soup
RiP Ester! From italy.🌷🌼🌻🌺
She looks so much like my grandma the cheekbones
That's crazy because me and my mom always says how much she looks like my Grandma. Where is your grandma from?

Wow, Wow she is such a Blessed and amazing woman. So , so Blessed. May she rest in The Precious and Gracious Name 🙏 of JESUS AMEN 🙏 GOD BLESS HER SOUL
RIP Esther Rolle and Helen Martin
❤ Ms. Rolle was READY. And her AURA commanded RESPECT. When she sat in front of anyone she immediately let it be known silently YOU WILL RESPECT ME
Why would she have to let that be known? Were people in the habit of disrespecting her? What you're describing would be someone with a chip on their shoulder due to an inferiority complex. I don't think she gives that aura in any way.
Would be 100 years old now
Rest In Paradise Beautiful Black Queen.
She was so true to her people❤❤❤❤R.I.P ESTER ROLLE
She was so beautiful… amazing woman
*She has a very robust, Imposing presence and deep voice. I would be intimidated!*
RIP Ms. Rolle 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
HER VOICE. OMG The lagend said " Just Once" and it was like hearing beautiful words from an ancestor or something lol Wow
Damm , damm damm!!!!
Helen Martin Too!!! What a treat!!!
Would have been great to have a soap opera based on her and Sidney Poitier.
She looks and sounds like my grandmother. Similar features. I guess some southern black women kind of look the same lol
No they don’t in my experience and I’m from Atlanta Georgia.
@@TheWoodland12 oh ok I’m from whitakers Nc
Princess Esther!!!!!
Her career should have been 10X bigger than it was.
She’s so regal ❤
Something about her , mysteriously reminds me of my dear mother, ironically enough, Helen Martin reminds me of my grandmother, and John Amos looks so much like my father.
It's great seeing Esther Rolle as well as Helen Martin in this interview. What year did this take place?😁
She never ages. Even up to her untimely death.
I just know if u act out as a child she would whoop that ass like no tomorrow 😂
She looks so Ghanaian❤❤
RIP QUEENS
Legendary
MAY. BLESS. BE UN TO YOU MOTHER 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷
you can tell she is a Scorpio - WOW.....They wear there Emotions on there face
I ❤️her
I just know her thanksgiving food was to die for
I guess she's talking about WOODIE King but I'm not sure about which James Baldwin play is being discussed. Amen Corner?
Yes, a reprisal of The Amen Corner which she did on & off Broadway in 1965.
My late mom Juanita Clark did many plays under the production & direction of Woodie King at the Henry Street Settlement in NY. What's loving is Ms. Esther Rolle was in my kitchen enjoying coffee & convo with my Mom! QUEENS simply QUEENS! 💙
Helen Martin was there too?!?!❤
First of all, what's the name of the play you're talking about (put in caption) and why are there unanswered questions at the end....DW.
She was the female equivalent to James Earl Jones.
The present moment, is all there ever is. So many prefer to operate on autopilot with tradition, while others live in fantasy.
She wasn't happy about something here
One word....MOTHER
What year?
Love her so much.
😍😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She seemed kinda agitated or maybe she didn't feel good
I don't think she feeling good in that award
❤️
I always liked Esther Rolle and she was, no doubt, a master at her craft ... however, she doesn't seem very friendly.
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
So you said she’s not friendly just off a video? People have their moments it’s not sunshine and flowers everyday for humans you know
Why do you think she wasn't friendly?
U sound so ignorant have u met her personally to kno she isn't friendly ?
She probably wasn’t feeling good how tf u know just because someone is black don’t mean they ain’t friendly stop with this dumb ass racist stereotype
What play are they talking about?
Ame Corner
Amen Corner
When was this, The 90s?
Yup probably between 1989 and 1992!!!
I think between 86 to 89 . Play was in 1986 so around that timeframe
big ups to Esther Rolle owed long time act of the Jefferson
1972 babysitter
Those Cigarettes
If you close your eyes she sounds like Miley Cyrus,
She seem to be grasping for Air. She doesnt seem healthy in this interview
Trick daddy’s twin
That’s mean but I low key laughed
Maybe had she grown out her (Afro) hair...? Not worn an afro .. and dyed her hair. This is a completely unique look.. that cemented her style.
She was one meanest snobbish ladies in real life you could meet
She was just like that to white people who thought she was less than.
Bobbie usually starts her interviews with such a CHEERY mood I was at first surprised to hear her start with “how many times have you done this play?”
I can tell she was nervous , wonder why… it’s your JOB , a privileged job at that .
This woman was difficult to work with. Very self consumed and arrogant
I sense that in this video. She wanted JJ fired off Good Times
@@verda7856she wanted JJ fired because he was the star. She was jealous
Not ever given enough gredit for all she did...
But some of us know what a real AFRICAN GUEEN..LOOKS LIKE.
