Is Celie actually ugly?Asks the charismatic star playing heron Broadway.How many times over the yearsI have explainedthis.Celie and her “prettier” sister Nettieare practically identical.They might be twins.But Life has forced on Celieall the hardshipsNettie mostly avoids....Endless labor that woulddemean and soon obliteratethe observable lovelinessof the most queenly slave.I wanted us to think abouthow superficial is our understandingof beauty; but, also, how beautyis destroyed.
