#Quote
1[Of Marla Gibbs]: That Marla Gibbs was the star of it. She's strong. People took it for granted, but she implemented a lot of change on there. She did not hold her tongue. She fought for all of us. She and I are great friends. She and I have come full circle. She's the best person.
2[on her feud with 227 star Marla Gibbs, who played Mary Jenkins]: That was true at the time, she and I since have become the greatest friends. We've come full circle, and by that I mean, we talked about it honestly and woman-to-woman, and she didn't have to but she did. People were putting things in her head and telling her things that weren't true and she was believing in them. And then she finally came to talk to me, and we got it all straightened out. We are the best of buds - me, her and Alaina Reed and the fabulous Regina King.
3[on her departure from 227 (1985) and her on- and off-screen rumoured feud with Marla Gibbs, who played Mary Jenkins]: When Sandra took off and I took off with her, the truth is it did indeed create a lot of tension. There were problems on Marla's part, which was truly ridiculous because she had all the power. It was her show. Maybe the problem stemmed from the fact that from the beginning Marla wanted someone else for the part, but the network insisted on me. They were all pushing Sandra, and they were pushing me. That changed when I got big, maybe too big, in Marla's eyes. Not that Marla and I ever had any arguments. She was never rude to me, and we always remained cordial. But on the biggest night of my life, when I won my Emmy, not only wasn't there a party given for me, but there was also not a flower or a word of congratulations. Ever. There was nothing, and that hurt. Afterward, my part got less and less each week, and it became clear to me that it was time to leave so I did.
4[on her comeback to television]: I'm trying like heck -- it ain't easy. You've gotta come up with a concept and we haven't found one yet.
5[on her 2002 return to Broadway]: Well, I looked fabulous, it was hard work singing and dancing, lifting that leg up, that fan kick. It reminded me of the days when I really used to work for a living.
6[on gaining celebrity status on 227 (1985), for which she won an Emmy Award in 1987]: It was great -- it was the best time of my life, actually, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
7[on landing her first leading theatrical role at age 14]: I took my curtain call and they screamed and cheered and I got hooked.
#Fact
1Credits Marla Gibbs as her favorite acting mentor/best friend.
2Surrogate daughter of Marla Gibbs.
3She along with her former 227 (1985) series' lead, Marla Gibbs, attended the funeral of Natalie Cole on January 11, 2016, when the singer passed away at the end of 2015.
4Revealed that she had a lot of fun with Marla Gibbs on 227 (1985).
5Left her role on 227 (1985), in the middle of the last season, to star-in her own spin-off show that failed.
6Like her ex-227 (1985) co-star, Marla Gibbs, who played Florence Johnston on The Jeffersons (1975), her 227 (1985) character was originally only supposed to be on for 13 episodes, but proved to be so popular, she stayed on as a regular, until she left the show in 1989.
7Worked with Marla Gibbs's childhood friend, Della Reese, twice on shows: 227 (1985) and The Royal Family (1991).
8Best friends with Alaina Reed-Hall and Della Reese.
9In 2013, she appeared on The First Family (2012) starring Christopher B. Duncan, that reunited her with former 227 (1985) co-stars Marla Gibbs and Hal Williams.
10Has Trinidadian ancestry.
11Before she was a successful actress, she was an American History teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School in Brooklyn, New York.
12Went to see Alaina Reed-Hall in the hospital, before she passed away.
13Her acting mentor was Marla Gibbs.
14Best known by the public for her roles as Sandra Clark on 227 (1985) and as Lisa Landry on Sister, Sister (1994).
15She was originally going to join the cast of "Designing Women" in the last season.
16She tried to segue into her own series after her Emmy-winning success on "227". The first was a spin-off of "227" titled "Jackée". Even though the pilot episode fared well with audiences, and premiered fifth in the ratings on NBC, it was canceled and is now shown as an episode of "227".
17On the musical stage, she earned much attention for her Billie Holiday interpretation in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill" in 1994.
18Attended and graduated from the Long Island University.
19Joined the cast of the television series The Royal Family (1991) after the sudden death of its star Redd Foxx.
20Around the time of the end of "227", Harry briefly dropped her surname (for professional purposes) and went by her first name, Jackée.
21Was second choice to play Oda Mae Brown in Ghost (1990). The first choice, Whoopi Goldberg, was unsure if she could fit the movie into her schedule and Jackee was verbally offered the role. Goldberg, of course, was able to fit it into her work schedule and eventually won the Oscar for her role.
22In 1987, she became the very first, and as of 2013, the only African-American actress to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Sandra Clark in "227".
23Grew up in New York City.
24Studied acting at the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side, New York City.
25National spokesperson for the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund and supports the United Negro College Fund.
