[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Towards the end of her life and when her career had ended, the [b]actress Carol Channing disclosed that she was black.[/b]  She was always cast as a white woman on stage and in films so assume she was passing as white most of her life.  Her father was described as multiracial, African American and Euro American.  His mother, Channing's grandmother, was African American.  Channing's mother told her when she left to attend college that her father was half African American and the grandmother was African American.  Her mother did not want Channing to be surprised if she gave birth to a black child.  I assume she meant the coloring of the child would give away that he/she was black.  Channing publicly revealed her African American ancestry in the early 2000s.[/quote]
I knew this subconsciously. I see that now. Channing reminds me of Maria Ewing, they have the same facial expressions.
