Ruby Dee (1922-2014)

TheaterWe were sorry to learn of the passing of Ruby Dee, 91. She was not only a brilliant, award-winning actress, but also a great force in the struggle for civil rights.

In a 2005 show for Experience Talks, host Bobbee Zeno had the pleasure of speaking with her, along with Sheldon Epps (Artistic Director of the Pasadena Playhouse), and actors Jacques C. Smith ExperienceTalks-logo-Vimeoand Loretta Devine, about the revival of her husband Ossie Davis’ musical, “Purlie.” You can listen to the show here.
