The correct answer is Hattie McDaniel
American actress Hattie McDaniel remained forgotten for decades, in an injustice that will be corrected with a biopic that will tell her trajectory and her greatest symbolic feat: she became the first black woman to win an Oscar.
The award was given to her in 1940, for her performance as a supporting actress like Mommy in the classic film “… And the wind took”.
The daughter of an ex-slave couple, Hattie was born in 1895 and, when she decided to pursue an artistic career, her whole life became a story of overcoming and conquering - with a lot of struggle against the radical prejudices of the time.
