Olivia Wingfield

Watched this old movie on tv when I was a kid. i remember Pinky as bring a sympathetic character, passing for white not because she really wanted to, but because it was the only way she could achieve a career as a nurse. Her aim was not to betray her race, or her mother. There was love there, but there were times when she was ashamed by her mother's blackness and her lowly station in life. Pinky wanted to overcome this dilemna and live a better life, but in the end she choose loyalty to the circumstances of her race and to her mother, over a life of love and subsequent lies. I am sure it was an accurate portrayal of life during that time period, and that passing for white is no longer an option that light Black people have to consider in order to have a better quality of life.

Watched season 1 loved it and was so happy when season 2 began. The show is sooo much fun...the stuff they do and have to continue to do is outrageous. The girls have to get more gangsta every episode. But, dont get me wrong...its far from funny. Dramatic, suspenseful, sexy...great acting! Great story!
