Ruby Dee

I remember Ruby Dee in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing and Jungle Fever and so many other fabulous movies!

Actress Ruby Dee has died at the age of 91. Here is the story:

 

Stage and screen legend Ruby Dee, who personified grace, grit and progress at a time when African-American women were given little space in movies and on stage, died Wednesday in New Rochelle, N.Y. She was 91.

The death was confirmed Thursday by a family member, who declined to answer any questions pending the release of a statement.
