Hazel was not only a talented pianist, a singer and an actress. She was also an outspoken person, but America was not to accept an artist who was opposed to racial segregation.

Hazel was the first African American woman to have her own television show which ran on a weekly basis. But her show did not last long.

The cast

This distinction belongs to the African American singer and actress Ethel Waters (1896-1977) who hosted a television show about herself before World War II.

This film shows her talents as a musician, a singer and an actress. It also reveals the price she had to pay for speaking out. She was silenced so much that she was almost forgotten by the general public.

The Hazel Scott Show ran for three months in 1950. But Hazel is not the first African American woman to host a television show about herself.

** Lauren Schoenberg – a musician, a saxophonist

What do you think hell is like?

Her show aired on NBC on 14 June 1939. But there was only one episode. Her show did not run on a weekly basis. In addition, not many people had a television set in 1939. Not many people were able to watch this show.

Some people decided she had to be taught a lesson. She was blacklisted and vilified so much and so hard that she felt she had to leave the country.

In 1950, Hazel was listed in a pamphlet with the title Red Channels. This pamphlet named more than one hundred persons who were accused of being communists. Hazel was included, because she was opposed to racial discrimination and racial segregation.

In the 1950s, she felt she was being pushed out of her own country. She moved to France. She disappeared from the US. Hence the subtitle of this film:

It was never the same as it had been before and during World War II. When she died in 1981, she was almost forgotten by the general public.

In 1967, when she returned to the US, she found that the country had changed in several ways while she had been away. A civil rights movement was active, but it was not easy for her to connect with this movement, because it operated in ways which were strange for her.

The topic is important. The story deserves to be told, and in this film, it is done very well. I want to go all the way to the top with this product. I think it deserves a rating of five stars (100 percent).

Ethel Waters is not mentioned in Nicole London’s documentary film about Miss Scott.

She was married to the African American Baptist pastor and politician Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. They were married in 1945.

** Run time: 83 minutes

The first episode aired on 03 July 1950. When she was named as a communist in the pamphlet, her show was cancelled. The DuMont Television Network said they could no longer find a sponsor for her show. The last episode aired on 29 September 1950

“Hazel Scott, a trailblazing entertainer and activist, was silenced. A PBS doc brings her to light,”

When she returned in 1967, she did not really feel welcome. Many members of the civil rights movement regarded her as someone who was out of touch with the current situation.

Since she was accused of being a communist, it was at first difficult and later impossible for Hazel to work as a musician in the US.

She performed occasionally in a night club and she had small roles on some television shows, but she was not able to rebuild her career.

What do reviewers say about this film?

She conducted a one-woman crusade for civil rights. She paid a high price when she insisted on her right to speak out and say what she believed.

In 1950, the US was in the middle of the Second Red Scare. Senator McCarthy was beginning his persecution of people who were suspected of being Communists.

Reviewers praise the director for covering the life and career of an artist who had been almost forgotten.
