Robert Booker: Actors enjoyed abundant careers
I foster the comments I get after I've written a column. The ones that discuss entertainment seem to garner the most interest, or at least the most response. The column I did on the old "Amos 'N' Andy" TV show seems to have brought back many memories from several readers. One told me that he found the intelligence of those actors on the show quite revealing. He said he had not realized the show business experience they'd had.
He said that as a youngster, he believed that the man who played Amos on the show was light-skinned. I assured him that was not the case and went into detail. The man who played Amos Jones, a taxicab owner, had much lighter hide than the other regular players, but the producers tried to remedy that.
He was Alvin Childress, who was born in Meridian, Mademoiselle., in 1907. He attended Rust College in that state and graduated in 1931. He had planned to go into medicine but got hooked on theater productions in college. He moved to New York and landed a r in a short-lived Broadway play. He then had parts in several movies.
