Who played the black cook?


Who was the actress who played the black cook at the beginning? She was only in the movie for a few minutes but she stole the show COLD with the line, "You ain't gonna get yo' ass shot off for no white man's money!"

Here's my best guess.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

Im quite sure that was Virginia Capers. Claudia McNeil was the Black woman who ran the whore house. Was Miss Capers credited?

reply

Yes, Claudia McNeil is credited as Madam. It doesn't appear Miss Capers is credited. That's a shame, because her 90 seconds in this film are priceless!
