From being cast in a very controversial caricature of a role in "Gone With the Wind," to being physically assaulted by a Grey Hounds bus guard (though she thankfully did win the lawsuit over that), she indeed was such a goddess who was way more than what Hollywood typecast her as. :(

I thought it was a bit of spontaneity that had been lost. The crowd went wild after her little song, as they did each time a character came on the screen for the first time. Butterfly came to my little town one year before this appearance to serve as the grand marshal in our little Christmas parade. I was asked to drive her back to her motel some 2.5 hours away. I will never forget that experience or her artistic temperament.

Had the pleasure of meeting Ms. McQueen, William Bakewell and Rand Brooks in 1985 at a GWTW festival held outside Philadelphia as a fundraiser to save a historic movie theater. She graciously signed my 1940 movie edition of the novel. When I asked her how she remained so youthful looking, she mischievously responded "Vaseliiiine." A treasured memory. I can only imagine the inner conflict and torment many black actors experienced at this time. All I can say is that in the end, I believe their participation in the GWTW accomplished much in helping America face its past, present and still its future. The love story is what hooked me as a sixteen year old reading the book in 1973. But as I matured and delved deeper into the historical context of the book and its translation to film, my awareness and understanding of what had just transpired during my childhood in the 60's became a good deal clearer. Thank you so much for posting this interview with a woman whose life had great consequence.

This Bubbly Black Lady boarded the bus, I can't remember which city, and she said hello to the Bus driver in a high pitch voice, and sat down behind him. They were Chatting abit. I said to myself, That sounds like Butterfly McQueen. I was sitting about 8 rows behind her. I got my nerve up to go speak to her. I walked up to her and said, "Hello. Are you Butterfly McQueen?" She politely said, 'Yes I am". I said, "Oh it's so nice to meet you". I was shy back then. Still am. And I'm a Flight Attendant now for the past 35yrs. Still Shy. Go figure. Lol. I said, Where are you going". She said, "To Charlotte for the Gone With The Wind Festival." I said, 'Oh that's so nice. It was very nice meeting you". She said, "It was very nice meeting you too". I was like so nervous, I didn't know what else to say. But it was a very Memorable Experience for me!! Oh yeah!! She was carrying a See Thru, Square Acrylic or Glass pocket book with a Roll of Toilet Tissue in it. That was Interesting!! On 1 of my flights, this Lady boarded the flight and she looked Homeless. She was Shabbly Dressed, but she was Carrying this Expensive Alligator or Crocodile Pocket Book. We the Crew was in the back talking about her. Nothing bad, just about how she's dressed and that Pocket Book. I was looking at her, and I said, Oh my God, I think that's Iman. (The Model married to David Bowie). They said, No that's Not. I went up to her asked her, "Are you Iman?" She said, "Yes I am". "Can I have your Autograph?". And she Signed her name on a Napkin for me. She was very very Polite throughout the Flight. The girls went up to speak to her. I gave her a Bottle of Champagne to take with her. I'm Sorry!! I can Go On and On about my adventures!! Goodbye.

I'm impressed to learn that she was atheist. That's wonderful! She didn't have a bad attitude. She had self-respect.

@@Michelle-pn9xt “Where is the graveyard of dead gods? What lingering mourner waters their mounds? There was a time when Jupiter was the king of the gods, and any man who doubted his puissance was ipso facto a barbarian and an ignoramus. But where in all the world is there a man who worships Jupiter today? And who of Huitzilopochtli? In one year - and it is no more than five hundred years ago - 50,000 youths and maidens were slain in sacrifice to him. Today, if he is remembered at all, it is only by some vagrant savage in the depths of the Mexican forest. Huitzilopochtli, like many other gods, had no human father; his mother was a virtuous widow; he was born of an apparently innocent flirtation that she carried out with the sun. When he frowned, his father, the sun, stood still. When he roared with rage, earthquakes engulfed whole cities. When he thirsted he was watered with 10,000 gallons of human blood. But today Huitzilopochtli is as magnificently forgotten as Allen G. Thurman. Once the peer of Allah, Buddha and Wotan, he is now the peer of Richmond P. Hobson, Alton B. Parker, Adelina Patti, General Weyler and Tom Sharkey. Speaking of Huitzilopochtli recalls his brother Tezcatlipoca. Tezcatlipoca was almost as powerful; he consumed 25,000 virgins a year. Lead me to his tomb: I would weep, and hang a couronne des perles. But who knows where it is? Or where the grave of Quetzalcoatl is? Or Xiuhtecuhtli? Or Centeotl, that sweet one? Or Tlazolteotl, the goddess of love? Of Mictlan? Or Xipe? Or all the host of Tzitzimitl? Where are their bones? Where is the willow on which they hung their harps? In what forlorn and unheard-of Hell do they await their resurrection morn? Who enjoys their residuary estates? Or that of Dis, whom Caesar found to be the chief god of the Celts? Of that of Tarves, the bull? Or that of Moccos, the pig? Or that of Epona, the mare? Or that of Mullo, the celestial jackass? There was a time when the Irish revered all these gods, but today even the drunkest Irishman laughs at them. But they have company in oblivion: the Hell of dead gods is as crowded as the Presbyterian Hell for babies. Damona is there, and Esus, and Drunemeton, and Silvana, and Dervones, and Adsullata, and Deva, and Bellisima, and Uxellimus, and Borvo, and Grannos, and Mogons. All mighty gods in their day, worshipped by millions, full of demands and impositions, able to bind and loose - all gods of the first class. Men labored for generations to build vast temples to them - temples with stones as large as hay-wagons. The business of interpreting their whims occupied thousands of priests, Bishops, archbishops. To doubt them was to die, usually at the stake. Armies took to the field to defend them against infidels; villages were burned, women and children butchered, cattle were driven off. Yet in the end they all withered and died, and today there is none so poor to do them reverence. What has become of Sutekh, once the high god of the whole Nile Valley? What has become of: Resheph Anath Ashtoreth El Nergal Nebo Ninib Melek Ahijah Isis Ptah Anubis Baal Astarte Hadad Addu Shalem Dagon Sharaab Yau Amon-Re Osiris Sebek Molech? All there were gods of the highest eminence. Many of them are mentioned with fear and trembling in the Old Testament. They ranked five or six thousand years ago, with Yahweh Himself; the worst of them stood far higher than Thor. Yet they have all gone down the chute, and with them the following: Bilé Ler Arianrhod Morrigu Govannon Gunfled Sokk-mimi Nemetona Dagda Robigus Pluto Ops Meditrina Vesta You may think I spoof. That I invent the names. I do not. Ask the rector to lend you any good treatise on comparative religion: You will find them all listed. They were gods of the highest standing and dignity-gods of civilized peoples-worshiped and believed in by millions. All were omnipotent, omniscient and immortal. And all are dead.” ― H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy Think on this Michelle, before making another vacuous claim.

That's the best advice someone could give to another... That sometimes you just gotta get used to the fact some folks won't like you. A lot of young people today especially could learn from that one line.
