Ethel Waters - Takin' A Chance On Love (1946)

[Aware681]

I agree with direfranchement and ivycompton. I love this soulful more mellow jazz so much more. I crave more of her now. This is why I love technology.

I absoutely Love it! Wasn't that a picture of the actress that Played in the movie Pinky?

The young black woman that was a nurse that passed for being white. If so, I've seen that movie I love & never give up a chance to watch it. & that would mean I have had the blessing seeing Ms.Waters on film. Can someone please let me know if this is the case. Thanks! God bless & peace always.

Yes, you're speaking of the late Jeanne Crain, a steller actress who starred in other mid-century hits including "Leave Her To Heaven" (1945) and "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949).

@direfranchement Thank you, thank you so much for blessing me w/ this information. I think I've have seen Leave her to Heaven once. Isn't that Starring Gene Terreny, Who played in the movie "Laura"? I've seen "A Letter To Three Wives at least 2 or more times, when I discovered it on tv. I grew up watching classic movies & always had a love for classic cinema. I am so glad to come to know more of Ms. Water's work after reading about her for yrs. growing up. God bless & peace always.

Yes, Jeanne Crain played Gene Tierney's sister in "Leave Her to Heaven". I too love classic films almost as much as I love vintage jazz, and I collect them. "Laura" is one of my favorites.

@direfranchement Thanks. Whenever we get our cable back, I'll keep a watch for it when it comes on either TCM or AMC, but if I remember the movie correctly Ms. Tierney plays a jealous murderess. Wonderful actress, but hard to watch her being so evil. Well my fav jazz artists are Ethel Waters of course, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Kay Starr, Duke Ellington & Count Basie. If there are any others they're skipping my mind at the moment. God Bless & Peace be with you.

I love Waters' dramatic, soulful, brilliantly inventive style. I love many of the singers in this genre, but in some ways Waters is untouchable. Thanks for posting this.

I would love to see someone do a movie on her, she was truly one of the greats!!
