I had no idea she was that old.  I remember thinking she was kind of hot when I was a kid, from Roots, I think.

Yup, she was in Roots. I will always remember her scene as an old woman where she spit in the cup of the old white woman with whom she grew up with, I think the old white woman said she didn't remember anyone named Kizzy.

I think the white gal was played by Sandy Duncan. I’m not certain.  I think she used to make Triscuit commercials in the 70s, and maybe was always an actress or gymnast, or something.

That scene I remember was a big deal.

Duncan was born in Henderson,TX and raised in Tyler.
