Stepin Fetchit
Skuespiller
30. maj 1902 — 19. november 1985 (83 år)
Stepin Fetchit (1902–1985) was an American comedian and actor.
His Fetchit persona parlayed into a successful film career, eventually becoming the first black actor to become a millionaire. He was also the first black actor to receive screen credit.
Stepin Fetchit typical film persona and stage name have long been controversial, and seen as illustrative of negative stereotypes of Negroes. However, a newer interpretation of his film persona contends he was ultimately subversive of the status quo.
