I was an actress and a star and the people in the industry knew that "Nothing But A Man" was a significant contribution and Sidney Poitier broke as the greatest actor in the world for the first time, a black man in America, and he wanted to say something about the black woman and the black man because it wasn't permitted for a black man to have a romantic interest with a black woman on television. It still isn't. She's not supposed to have a man and he's not supposed to have a woman. That's what bondage is. So, Sidney wrote this contrived story. He did this synopsis, 21 pages. He had to go through all these changes to introduce a black woman love interest in film with himself. Everybody thought Diahann Carroll or Barbara McNair or anybody but Abbey Lincoln was going to make this film. He was number 1 and I was this rebellious woman wearing her hair natural and who talked too much and nobody thought, including Sidney, that it was mine, but it was. Mm-hmm. That's all. It just was mine, and it was very successful. I didn't wait too long after that for another film because I remember Dorothy Dandridge dying waiting for a film and now at this time in my life, I wouldn't be on the stage for anything with a film. I already did that. But the films that I made are Evergreen. Even "The Girl Can't Help It." Can't get any better than that. Mm-hmm. Beau Bridges, Lloyd Bridges and Beau and he's got another son, too, that's a wonderful family. He was there on the set sometimes, Lloyd and his wife and the kids. Mm-hmm.
