Yeah, exactly. Carol Channing would have known stories like this. Imagine having a secret so dangerous you could be killed for it.

I donât have to imagine, sadly.
And CC is actually sort of fortunate in that regard; she didnât find out about her heritage until a little later in life, so she wasnât âliving in fearâ that whole time she was growing up.
I am truly grateful that Iâve never had to hide who and what I am*.
*Not that I could have anyway, though. Some of my features are very Afrocentric.

So sad and so scary.

Weâve lost a national treasure: Mary Oliver.
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
To love what is mortal;
To hold it against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
And, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go
â Mary Oliver

This is another Frawley flick worthy of mention. Kid Blue is a counter-culture-esque comedy western featuring Dennis Hopper as an outlaw who tries to go straight, with excellent work from hostile sheriff Ben Johnson, peyote inspired preacher Peter Boyle, and Greek obsessed Warren Oates. Despite what the video says not a childrenâs film.
