Also, Juanita Moore, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a African-American maid whose daughter passes for white in "Imitation of Life," has died at 99. "'If by accident we should pass in the street,' the daughter, played by Susan Kohner, tells her, 'please don’t recognize me.'”

I saw that movie when I was very young and I will never forget my mother weeping at the end of it.

I love GWTW. Everyone in it was spectacular and so in character.
