At the 1973 Oscars, Diana Ross and Cicely Tyson made history as only the second and third Black actresses to be nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Ross had made her film debut, as Billie Holliday in LADY SINGS THE BLUES (1972). She holds her own alongside Billy Dee Williams and Richard Pryor in a story about a woman who finds her voice and battles her demons. Friend of the Pod "Downtown" Marcus Brown joins us to discuss this classic which for some reason, isn't streaming anywhere. Do better, HBO Max! #BeKindRewind
