Just saw American Fiction. I remembered the name and the face was familiar. Was she a singer or actress? I'm 70 (white) and would have seen and/or heard her I suppose. Judging by the murmurs that swept through the older white audience when she and/or her name appeared, it seems I was not alone.
Anyway, lovely voice and beautiful woman. (At 80, in the movie, she's still adorable).

whoa...she was a seriously pretty girl!

Typo in the name - should be Leslie, not Lesley.

And to think CBS Chairman, William Paley, once said Leslie Uggams “wasn’t pretty”…what a jerk

[brucekuehn]

And I sincerely apologize for (in my youth) calling you Ugly Lezzums
