I really hope that after Ethel Waters found religion in the late 50s, she reconciled with Lena. They were both not only phenomenally talented, but American originals and, most importantly, rarities in American entertainment of the period - so many black women entertainers met varying degrees of untimely or tragic endings in the 20th century; Billie Holliday, Bessie Smith, Josephine Baker, Mahalia Jackson, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Mae McKinney, Dorothy Dandridge, Hattie McDaniel, Mamie Smith, Ma Rainey, Louise Beavers, and Hazel Scott, just to name a few (or even Zora Neale Hurston). But Ethel and Lena both endured decades of discrimination to "come out on the other side" and happily lived full lives to advanced age, respected the world over. I'd like to think that eventually Waters realized that Lena wasn't out to "replace her," just that she admired the hell out of her and wanted to be as fabulous as she was because there were so few successful black women entertainers to emulate who had really "made it." They were two of a kind and will both be missed.

She sang "AM I Blue" in the 1929 film On With The Show, but I don't think LENA HORNE ever sang that song. OF course, the fact that Lena Horne was young and Beautiful with a new M.G.M. contract may have caused some resentment.

In a bar room scene, Ethel Waters' Petunia unwittingly gave birth to the black gay signature, the snapping of the fingers for underscore and most dramatic emphasis. Petunia: "...and if I come across any more second hand junk, I'll pass it on to you (finger snap at a seated Georgia Brown)! Lord, have mercy! From then on, every black gay from Harlem to South Central Los Angeles became Petunia at one time or other another, with agitators signifying and egging on with, "Read, Miss Thing!"

Back then in Hollywood, it certainly defied convention to have an older, overweight African American actress play the part of a glamorous woman with sex appeal, but no-- Ethel Waters was not imitating Mae West in this scene. If anything, what the scene portrays is the fictional Petunia Jackson playing the very real Ethel Waters in a dream sequence from this all-black musical fantasy. Miss Waters was a distinct and dynamic stage, recording and screen presence in her own right, and didn't need to imitate anybody.

I can see alot of the Mae West isms as well so your right on for thinking that but a lot of who Mae West was, she got from blacks. Mae hung out in harlem a lot during the 20 ' s and 30 ' s and a lot of her style came from the women and men she seen in the bars and clubs and she wasn't afraid to admit it either. She took it and created her own style. Hollywood had never seen a white women act like that before Mae. But Ethel is doing a character all her own.
