TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Ruben Santiago-Hudson insisted his daughter Lily be cast in a cameo as Laura's daughter. But his son Trey, a twin with Lily, wanted to appear in the movie as well, which Ruben accepted. In real life, the character of the abused Laura only had a daughter, not a twin daughter and son. The scene where Laura comes to Nanny's house in the middle of the night with her son and daughter after leaving her abusive husband is accurately re-created word-for-word as Ruben remembered from that night.

Based on the autobiographical one-man show by Ruben Santiago-Hudson.

Director George C. Wolfe produced the Off-Broadway stage production.

Popular Dialogues

"Bertha: Did you see all those negroes shouting "black power, black power"? Hair as nappy as can be! Rachel "Nanny" Crosby: The black panthers? Bertha: Yeah. I have all the "black power" they need right in my hot comb."

"Rachel "Nanny" Crosby: Luck is you gettin' outta Georgia alive."
