TVXOHOF, 05/2014 - REMEMBERING MAYA ANGELOU



I would have thought the odds were against it, but sadly the Television Crossover Hall Of Fame is inducting one last Queen of May for this year.  Poet and performer Maya Angelou passed away in North Carolinayesterday at the age of 86.

Besides being an author of great influence, Ms. Angelou also acted - perhaps most notably in the seminal mini-series 'Roots'. She also appeared in an episode of 'Touched By An Angel' as another citizen of Toobworld; and for Skitlandia she was a guest star in "The Richard Pryor Special?".
 
But she also was a member of the League of Themselves in Earth Prime-Time and that is why we are inducting her today.

'Moesha'
"Fired Up"

'The Gregory Hines Show'
"Eight And A Half Months"

'Sesame Street'
(Four episodes)

Unfortunately I have no pictures or video of her appearance in 'The Gregory Hines Show'.  However, please enjoy these videos of her other appearances as herself.....
