Aaron Loves Angela (1975) w Toni Ann Johnson

Screenwriter of Ruby Bridges and new author Toni Ann Johnson kicks off sharing her stories of working as a hired scribe in Hollywood and the joyful pain of working with Ruby Bridges director Euzhan Palcy before diving headfirst into her (and our) review of 1975’s Aaron Loves Angela (00:13), featuring the photogenic and uneven stewardship of Gordon Parks Jr. and actors Moses Gunn, Irene Cara and father/son Robert and Kevin Hooks.
