Black Star over Hollywood

<p>Black Star tells the story of Ted Masters a burned-out tap dancer and guitarist who leaves the southern black theater circuit (TOBA) and ventures west eventually finding Sid Grauman (and his famous theater) the mom-and-pop movie producer Nat Levine as well as Hattie McDaniel Rex Ingram Stepin Fetchit Eddie “Rochester” Anderson and a host of other moviemakers who pitch in attempting to turn Masters into the first black cowboy movie star. A long-lost love appears at the most inopportune time. It is a unique look at African Americans and their struggles in the moviemaking years prior to WWII.</p>
