	Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel \| PopMatters Television Review
		As Goldberg asserts at the beginning of the documentary, McDaniel was "the most celebrated fl actress of her time," but was also continually distressed by the many criticisms and protests ignited by the "mammy" roles she played for most of her career.
		McDaniel worked against this stereotyping, but from within the system, investing her versions of such characters with "humanity," or sometimes even a bit of "subversive" attitude (shrewd line readings, suggesting some measure of righteous anger directed at her white "employers").
		It also contextualizes the decline of McDaniel's career during the '40s, specifically citing the social shifts brought on by WWII, as it brought fl men and women together "in service of their country," and "empowered" the NAACP and its head, Walter White, to fight "plantation movies" and continued limitation to "domestic" or comic roles.

		Though Hattie believed in the emotional depth and dramatic range she brought to the screen would open opportunities for other fl actors, those who were deeply entrenched in the fight for civil rights, passionately objected to the role of "Mammy" and wanted McDaniel to move beyond portraying what many equality activists deemed stereotypical roles.
