"Uncle Tom’s Cabin was often produced as a play, so that many people who did not read the book saw it as a powerful stage drama. Although, especially at first, white actors usually played the African American parts in blackface, some productions starred African American actors and singers. At least seven silent-film versions of Uncle Tom’s Cabin had been made by 1927. The 1970 film version stars African American actress Eartha Kitt."
