FILM
NEW YORK -- Indepen
dent New York filmmaker
,
Stanley Nelson, has completed
production on a documentary
movie on the life of Madame
CJ. Walker.
During the early part of the
century, Walker
revolutionized hair care
among Black women by intro
ducing the hot comb and the
straightening of hais as well as
a line of hair care and beauty
products.
Her efforts made her the
first Blac female millionaire
in America. At a time when
most blacks were earning 10
or 12 dollars a week, Walker's
company was generating
$1,000 a day.
But critics charged at the
time that Walker's notion that
"straight hair was good hair"
meant that she was leading
Black women to accept a
white standard of beauty.
In fact, the film begins with
a 1923 song entitled " .. Nappy
Head Blues".
However, Nelson says the
film is good history and a
portrait of an extrordinary
woman. Persons interested in
showing the film must write
Stanley Nelson at: 324 Con
vent Avenue, Yor N.Y.,
10031.
