- VINTAGE: S. Pearl Sharp interviews actor/singer Rosalind Cash in 1981 for the BET series "Lead In." A founding member of the Negro Ensemble Company, Cash's many credits included starring in the films Melinda, Uptown Saturday Night, The Omega Man opposite Charlton Heston, and on the soap General Hospital. During her almost 40 year career she was applauded for avoiding stereotypes. She passed in 1995 at fifty-six.
My aunt Rosalind was the real deal and definitely a inspiration to all women young and old. My aunt refused to let the industry exploit her.
She’s gorgeous.
what was she like? thats so cool she yo fam
Loved her. Rest
She really was. Her sheer presence was acceptable and expressive. She held her own and was not shaken by the powers that be.
Rosalind Cash was a Queen! Still one of the most beautiful, eloquent, elegant and wise, and bad-ass sisters, EVER!!
I really like when she said I'm an artist whether the industry acknowledges me or not,she was a very beautiful women inside and out🤍💛🤍💛❤️💛❤️💛🤍
She was always so pretty to me and she was a brilliant actress.
Ebony B. I totally agree. Very well spoken
She is SO MISSED!!! So thoughtful, and beautiful! They couldn't feel her truth. A True Queen!! RIP Ms. Cash!!
LA Nwa when she died cancer did they shave off all her dreadlocks
No they did not as a matter of fact my aunt kept her locks to the day she passed.
Thank you
Indeed! Thanks for this !
@@Leahc24 Wow ! Thats beautiful.
What an actress!!! I was and still am a huge fan of Ms. Cash. May she continue to rest in peace.
She was so pretty. Miss her much. 😔
The woman was FINE in every way a woman can be!!! A GODDESS!!!!
She was a bad sister, I mean she knew her art, she could do anything, I just miss these women, so beautiful bright intelligent and yes I love her in Melinda she was so smart beautiful good part, and yes she is a Queen.
Never seen Melinda gonna look it up
Yh i love her too in the movie cornbread
Thank you 🤗
@@Leahc24 your welcome, I want people to know there are a lot of African American actresses in the pass that was outstanding.
Rosalind was very good in Sister, Sister with Diahann carroll and Irene Cara.
Thank you for this. Rosalind Cash and Vonetta McGee were TRULY ahead of the curve and their time. Shame they didn't live to see a better Black Hollywood come into fruition, but they paved the way for the critical thinking that comes with our representation.
How is Black Hollywood better?
She was so bright, beautiful and insightful ! And it's true, Black Americans gave representation to all Black people worldwide, whether Africans, Africans raised in Europe or Carribeans (I'm a Congolese raised in France myself)...
What a regal queen! Yes, give her her flowers! A fine actress and wise spirit. Rest in peace and power sista'.
She had dreadlocks in 1981, she was ahead of the game.
When everybody else was ditching the natural, for the Jheri curl and neutralizers.
Exactly! 💯
There were others wearing Locs, not just Rosiland.
@@katizz988
Okay, I stand corrected. It was her and Whoopi Goldberg, that was probably it
@@katizz988 yes. There were others. But during the early 80's, you didn't see too many wearing them. It didn't really become popular until the late 80's early 90s with the Black American masses.
@@epicsseven7686 Exactly. There were others, but Ms. Cash was one of the earlier celebrities we saw, who wasn’t Bob Marley, with locs. And this was long before we knew of Whoopi Goldberg. Ms. Cash was rocking locs even before Angela Davis (maybe) and Toni Morrison, if I’m not mistaken. And she was another one who loc’d early on.
Had no idea she died she was one of the best actresses. She was very positive and she knew her stuff and who she was.
Ladies & Gentlemen....this is true QUEEN!!!!!!
Her last film was tales from the hood
🖤🖤🖤🖤👑👑👑👑🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
How refreshing to see a Sister and Queen who knows who she was and made the decision to live her life on her terms. What a lesson she taught in this interview. What sheer beauty.!!
Sanaa Lathan, for Rosalind Cash biopic!!!😍
eric echols I agree
Yes! When I saw Sister, Sister I immediately thought Sanaa Latham!!
@@laurainglis7485 yes!I 👍
Yes Sanaa Lathan or Rosario Dawson either one of them.
@@zapzawesomeice2970 😀👍
Powerful critique of the entertainment industry and Black actors and her own value. I so respect her spirit.
She was so pretty,and an amazing actress.

She was a beautiful lady... I remember her from "Melinda" with the late Vonetta McGee.

I miss Rosalind Cash and Moses Gunn from Cornbread Earl and Me great combination rest in heaven Rosalind
Yes there were great actors
Rosalind Cash was the BOMB intelligent, bright sweet and a powerful sister Queen, and love her hair
I think she was on an episode of Good Times in the 70'S. She is gorgeous. I was 12 or 13 at the time. I didn't even know she passed away.
Awwh, I know she would have been a gorgeous senior with grey!
Thank you for this interview! I loved Rosalind and miss her work!
She was a very talented and gorgeous woman may she R.I.P.💕

9:42 of a moment, in time that captures, this strong • great • elegant • charismatic • vivacious • intelligent • sexy • sensuous • rythmatic • gifted • soul sister. A very Powerful interview, from Mrs. Rosalind Cash. And yes my, beautiful black Princess, you are 🅰️ QUEEN!!!👑🌷
They way you wrote this is wonderful. She is/was beautiful.
Thank you for this download she has eternal beauty and class. RIP
What a treasure and a beautiful interview of a one of a kind Queen. Thank you, Ms. Cash for sharing your light with us while you were here🙏
She’s reminds me of a mix of Angela Davis and Assata Shakur
Yesssss! That was a good call, she sure does remind me of both of them...
And Paula jai Parker
Indeed
Looks like Ashanti
Also Maya Angelou
I met and I took a picture of me and her in Jamaica apr 1985 she was a lovely lady in my life and I miss her 🥰
A true black queen 👑 in every sense of the word. You are missed😢
I'll always remember her as the cougar who went after J.J. in Good Times.
You were a true fan of “Good Times” to even recognize her character in that episode, like myself....but I was saying the same thing....
Ahh that's h0w she entered my sexual imaginati0n!!! thanks f0r that~
I miss this beautiful woman.
I loved her in The Omega Man
Rosalind Cash was gone too soon.
She was really the first Actress to sport dreadlocks
God bless this beautiful soul sister
She made film history in The Omega Man as Lisa. And she ended up being the glue of the movie. In less than an hour, she portrayed a hardened apocalyptic survivor, an intelligent counterpoint to the brutality of Charlton Heston, and a deranged albino plague infected cult follower. Everything in this interview is the character Lisa. So genuine.
The moment i saw Rosalind in Omega man i was ready to turn the film off, dreading the possibility of moral lectures, she very quickly won me over. Its really a shame scenes were cut from the film, probably would have made her even more famous and a better film. I enjoyed Omega man a lot.
Crying so hard watching this
Phenomenal actress and woman. God Bless her soul.
She was Absolutely Gorgeous!❤️
thAnkh you for this, queen! bless~
Such a beautiful woman and soul. ❤️🙏🏾
I just watched Ms. Cash in Sister, Sister...an excellent actress.
Also, just saw the interviewer S. Pearl Sharp on Good Times and Barnaby Jones...yet another fine Black actress!
👍💯😊🙏
🔥 This woman was a true elder.
R.I.Power Ms. Cash. 👑👸🏾👑
She really was a lovely woman, strong, independent and proud! I just wish she could've mentioned in her '81 interview about working on the film she's best known for, "The Omega Man!" I would like to have seen and heard her talk about working with Charlton Heston!🎥♎
Rest In Peace
So beautiful and gifted. You just wish you could have known her. 1981, the year this interview was made, was a bad period for blacks in film. Blaxploitation had ended. The WIz had flopped in the theaters two years earlier. Jim Brown, Richard Pryor and Fred Williamson had screwed up Indigo productions and Hollywood issued a moratorium on all black projects, claiming they made no money and were bad investments. Blacks were dead in the water from 81 to 1985 when Bill Cosby surfaces with his show. Which no one expected would work, as sitcoms were considered a dead art form. Cosby saves the sitcom, Spike Lee surfaces 2 years after that. John Singleton (RIP) and Robert Townsend shortly after that, and then its back on. But when it was time to knock down doors, we always had the shining example of Rosalind Cash making history and breaking new ground with Chartlon Heston on the silver screen to remind us of what's possible. From Kerry Washington on down, they all stand on this queens shoulders.
ONLY one actor can portray her....SANAA LATHAN
Or Paula jai Parker
Ashanti looks like her. She’s beautiful and very intelligent, just came across this. I will definitely be doing my research on her.🙏🏾
She was one the finest sistas
A very intelligent, talented woman...RIP
2 legendary beautiful queens 👑👑🌹🌹 R.I.P always to Ms Cash
She was absolutely stunning
Great actress.!!!!!!!! Rip
Yes, Beloved Sister Queen Artist Rosalind Cash! Continue to rest easy, a life well lived with a sense of purpose. Such a beautiful soul and spirit! 🙏👏🫶❤️💛🖤💚🎤👑🦁🔥🎶📽📺🎥🎬🏆
So sad she died on the day I was born 10/31/95
BetterThanEmril ....maybe you’re her, reincarnated
Her last film was tales from the hood
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Tales from the hood was her last big screen motion picture, she actually had a came in a movie starring Todd Bridges and Anna Marie Horsford titled Circle of pain.
Love Rosalind's hair.
just loved her rip
Her last film was tales from the hood
I'm in awe of her beautiful soul😇
What a well respected woman with poise ! She owned her role in tales from da hood !!!! That character deserved a spin off movie !
Wish I was alive to meet such a a soul…rip
A true queen 👑 who knew her worth and value. R.I.P🙏🙏
She is so Beautiful that artist mind is amazing
I loved Rosalind Cash she one my first celebrity love crush. A beautiful spirit.
I love this!!!!
Love it! 📺🎬📽️🎞️☺️😉
Queen indeed, truly missed. 👑💜🎥
I recall one of her close to final appearances was as a school teacher in The Fresh Prince of BA when Will had to dress up as a sunflower in a school production in order to graduate...😎
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!
As one of those 'Black Cockneys' in England, I can say we all enjoyed when Rosalind on screen.. one of the first Black women on TV and screen to wear dreadlocks unashamedly, a whole decade before Whoopi Goldberg!
The film she refers to with Oliver Reed and Glenda Jackson is a cult classic now, as it featured some of the 'Brit Pack' that would go on in other diverse films, like Quadraphenia, Breaking Glass, Scum and Babylon. It was set and filmed in a rough part of London, but Rosalind showed class throughout. And if she suffered any negativity it didn't show.
I hope she came down to North West London at that time, she would have been shown love and respect!
A class act, truly missed R.I.P.
This lady is gorgeous!
Melinda is my all-time favorite movie. And oddly enough, I was dating a young lady named Melinda, and that is why I originally went to see it. So glad I did!
When I was a teenager my friend was spending the day shopping with me and my mom soon as my mom heard the first cuss word she said we are leaving she asked for a refund and we went to another theater and saw sounder …lol
Legendary beautiful fine black woman
She got that right, black women are all queens , yesterday, today , and forever
All?
My first childhood crush.
God Ms. Cash was one gorgeous,beautiful woman
I have a huge crush on you Ms. Cash.
I remember her "Cagney & Lacey" and "LA Law" guest-appearances. Always so good! Such a great talent!
