From Broadway shows to the classic sitcom “Good Times,” Esther Rolle, born in 1920 in Pompano Beach, Florida, had a prominent acting career.
Audiences loved Rolle’s character on TV sitcom “Maude,” so much so that
the show’s producer Norman Lear created “Good Times” as a spinoff
series in which Rolle would star.
Rolle was one of the great iconic actresses of her time and was
regarded as a mother of Black America. This is an
interview from the short-lived show “Sammy
and Company”, which ran during the 1970s.
