They did a PBS version of The Old Settler for PBS, also directed by Allen.

Debbie Allen also directed Phylicia Rashad in a TV-movie version of "Pollyanna" in the late eighties (it was called "Polly" and was reset in the south during the fifties...Rudy from "The Cosby Show" played Pollyana).

That revival cast was wonderful.
I don't remember the names and wonder if any of them became very famous.
Actually, I remember Arnetia Walker. Forgive the spelling. She went on to do films and tv.

If there ever were a black version of Gypsy, my choice for Rose would be Queen Latifah or Lillias White!
