Fredi Washington (1903 – 1994), photographed by Carl Van Vechten.
“When she appeared in The Emperor Jones with Paul Robeson, Will Hays, the then powerful head of Hollywood’s censoring agency, insisted that Washington wear dark makeup to conceal her light complexion, insuring that the audience would not mistake her for a white woman in her love scenes with Robeson. Frustrated by the racist treatment she faced in Hollywood, Washington eventually gave up her film career.”
