Millie Jackson stars in this risqué comedy that outlines the extreme possibilities in the life of a determined woman. It all begins with her determination to marry a no-good, two-timing, dog of a man. It has yet to be determined if this was an accomplishment. He made her so depressed that she ate a herd cattle and two turkey farms. She lost the weight. She lost her husband and her mind. She then seduces her nerdy psychiatrist, transforms him into a superfine bachelor and reclaims her life. The way she does it, from beginning to end (and all between), is non-stop, belly-aching hilarious!
Do I Look Like a Lady? (Comedians and Singers) presents a dynamic checkerboard of moving image footage featuring African-American actors and singers from across the 20th century: from Jackie “Moms” Mabley to Eartha Kitt, Whoopi Goldberg, Whitney Houston, and several others. The video focuses on their individual voices as they express heartbreaking roles, pointed lyrics, sharp jokes, and strong statements of resistance to the dominant culture. The work is a powerful, and often riotous, reflection on the roles of black women in the United States.
