Lillian Randolph (December 14, 1898 – September 12, 1980) was an American actress and singer, a veteran of radio, film, and television. She worked in entertainment from the 1930s well into the 1970s, appearing in hundreds of radio shows, motion pictures, short subjects, and television shows.

Biography

Au cinéma, Lillian Randolph contribue à cinquante-et-un longs métrages américains, les trois premiers sortis en 1938 (dont Frou-frou de Richard Thorpe, avec Luise Rainer dans le rôle-titre).

Parmi ses films notables, mentionnons La vie est belle de Frank Capra (1946, avec James Stewart et Donna Reed), Bon sang ne peut mentir d'Hal Walker (1951, avec Dean Martin et Jerry Lewis), Chut... chut, chère Charlotte de Robert Aldrich (1964, avec Bette Davis et Olivia de Havilland) et Une fois ne suffit pas de Guy Green (1975, avec Kirk Douglas et Alexis Smith).

Son dernier film est Tueurs de flics d'Harold Becker (avec John Savage et James Woods), sorti le 19 septembre 1979, quasiment un an avant sa mort (en 1980, à 81 ans).

En outre, elle collabore à quarante-deux courts métrages, principalement d'animation (auxquels donc elle prête sa voix), le premier sorti en 1934 ; quatre sont produits par les Studios Disney, dont Trois petits orphelins de David Hand (1935).

Mais surtout, elle est la voix originale du personnage de Mammy Two Shoes de la série des Tom et Jerry du tandem Hanna-Barbera, dans dix-neuf courts métrages, depuis Faites chauffer la colle ! (1940) jusqu'à Push-Button Kitty (1952).

À la télévision, outre un téléfilm diffusé en 1975, elle apparaît dans quinze séries entre 1951 et 1977, dont Mannix (un épisode, 1970), L'Homme qui valait trois milliards (un épisode, 1975) et la mini-série Racines (deux épisodes, 1977).

Lillian Randolph se produit aussi dans des séries radiophoniques, dont Beulah , où elle tient le rôle-titre en 1952-1953, à la suite d'Hattie McDaniel et avant sa sœur Amanda Randolph (1896-1967).

Jenifer Baylor (Lisa Pelikan) is a poor, red-headed young woman from West Virginia. Jennifer possesses a power over snakes, an ability to control them and communicate with them. She and her father, Luke Baylor (Jeff Corey), left their home in disgrace, because when Jennifer was around the age of seven, some snakes she had been handling killed the town preacher's son. She refused to handle snakes ever again, though Luke now runs a pet store and often encourages her to use her power again. Luke is mentally disabled, unable to make meals for himself without burning them, and relies on Jennifer since his wife died. While Luke does run the pet store, he spends most of the time in a back room, listening to Christian radio.

Set between 1910 and 1915, the story follows Jack Jefferson (James Earl Jones; patterned after real-life boxer Jack Johnson) going on a hot streak of victories in the boxing ring as he defeats every white boxer around. Soon the press and racists announce the search for a "great white hope", a boxer who will defeat Jefferson for the heavyweight title. Meanwhile, Jefferson prepares for a few more matches, but he lets his guard down by courting the beautiful (and very white) Eleanor Bachman (Jane Alexander), and when everyone, including Jack's black "wife", discover this, the tensions grow to fever pitch. Jack's close black friends become scared over his pushing the envelope of success and the white authorities conspire to frame him with unlawful sexual relations with Eleanor and thereby take away his title. It leads to jealousy, a run from the law, and finally, disaster.

While he is checking the trail ahead, he rescues Emerson Cole (Arthur Kennedy) from being lynched for stealing a horse.

That night, they are attacked by five Shoshone Indians and Laurie is wounded by an arrow. McLyntock and Cole go out to deal with the Shoshones and Cole saves McLyntock's life in the process.
