Description
Publicity still of American actress Lillian Randolph wearing a maid's costume in the television show 'Beulah.'
Lillian Randolph was a 20th Century actress who routinely, yet proudly, presented the role of the black domestic in film and radio and defended her right to maintain such characters in an intelligent fashion for much of her career. She was also a singer, and a veteran of radio, film, and television.
