She was born into a very musical churchgoing family, and this gave her the chance to discover and begin developing her stunning abilities at an early age. She began piano lessons while in elementary school, and played and sang in the church choir, as well as during church services. During her teens she began seriously performing and attending nightclubs, and while she did eventually attend an arts-based high school, she dropped out before graduating to focus on her burgeoning musical exploits. Encouraged by a friend or friends to give the famous career-making Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York City a try (the exact date and circumstances are debated), she sang Body and Soul and won. This led to her coming to the attention of Earl Hines, whose band at the time was a revolutionary group at the forefront of the bebop movement.

MAKE/ BREAK THE RULES Many of the pieces you would usually find in The Uniter are, by most definitions, on the short side. Our average story aims to land around the 500-word mark. it’s a tough assignment, and oftentimes, a word count of 500 feels like it’s not possibly enough. Most of the time, though, we stay in that range. The Uniter is a learning paper, and creating a 500-word piece is a distinct skill set. it requires practice, as well as cultivating precision and discernment. not everything can make it in – and that’s part of the joy of writing. The outtakes are like loose threads to be followed up another day. They can spring into new stories. Few pieces, once finished, give a writer the sense that they are, just as they are, enough. and often it’s this not-enoughness that spurs us forward, to tell more stories, to build a body of work that can incorpo- rate more angles, different perspectives, or simply the same story, revisited at a different time. This week, we have some notable excep- tions. One of the key elements of having a rule is knowing when to break it.

    TOOTSIE Screenplay by Larry Gelbart March 8 1982 MACRO SHOT. LIKE AN ABSTRACT PAINTING Only one area in focus. It is an actor’s character box. We SLOWLY PAN to see: a monocle, different pairs of eyeglasses, rubber appliances, various makeups, a collection of dental applications, an assortment of brushes. A hand comes into frame and removes a small bottle. WE FOLLOW to see it is spirit gum. The other hand enters frame and uncaps the bottle. FOLLOW one hand as it applies the spirit gum to a cheek. We see only a portion of the cheek. Now the hands apply spirit gum to a rubber scar. Again we FOLLOW the hands as they place the scar upon the actor’s cheek. The ritual continues as we watch a moustache being applied. The hands then search out the dental appliances and pick one. We study the movement as the appliance is inserted into the actor’s mouth. Throughout the above we HEAR someone mumbling, but we cannot make out the words. Suddenly we HEAR: A VOICE Next! A BLACK SCREEN: OR SO IT SEEMS. Really a darkened theatre. We’re looking out toward the auditorium. VOICE (continuing) Michael...Dorsey, is it? PULL BACK to hold MICHAEL in fg., looking out toward the darkened auditorium. He is an actor, 40 years old. He holds a script. MICHAEL That’s right. CAMERA CIRCLES to reveal Michael’s face. The scar is present, as is the moustache. He also has perfect teeth. VOICE Top of twenty-three. MICHAEL (with feeling) “Do you know what it was like waking up in Paris that morning? Seeing the empty pillow where...wait a minute, cover your breasts! Kevin is downstairs! My God -- what are you?
