For a while now, my class has been watching the miniseries, Roots. I knew beforehand that she was in the series before watching, but when I saw her name appear in the first episode, I made sure to not miss her. Luckily, around episode 3, I noticed she was playing Belle, and thought she did doing quite well portraying her character.
But, when she is told that Kizzy, her character's daughter, is being sold to slaveowner Thomas Moore, man, Madge blew me away with his performance! She gave the right emotions and emotional reaction to when a mother is seeing her child being taken away from her, and there's nothing she can do about.
Her Emmy nomination was well deserved! Rest in peace, Ms. Sinclair!
