If you’re not already familiar with Teresa Graves and her work as an actress in the 1970’s we’re here to let you know about how iconic she was. Not only was Graves the first African-American female lead in a U.S. network drama, she unfortunately would be the only one for decades. It was not until Kerry Washington appeared in Scandal in 2012 that another black woman took the lead in a network drama. She also had a lot of say in the actions of her character, which is why she refused to have a love interest & she refused to kill any of the bad guys! . . . #roku #rokutv #comedy #rokuentertainment #bestcomedies #familyshows #bestmovies #urbankidzworld #ukwmedia #action #women #teresagraves #getchristielove #actionmovies #drama #africanamerican
