Some trivia questions
Here is a trivia question to see how much you know about black cinema:
This is a two-parter:
In the 1975 movie Cooley High, the lead character Preach was aspiring to be a Hollywood screenwriter. In the epilogue he acheived this goal. Preach was based on an actual person. What was his name and what popular 70s TV sitcom did he create? (Hint: double check your sources before you respond).
Part II:
One of the extras in Cooley High, whose name was not listed in the credits, became a very successful writer/actor/director in Hollywood in the 80s and 90s. Who was he?
(If no one gets Part II after 4-5 responses, I will start posting hints).
