	Guardian Unlimited Film News Obituary: Beah Richards
		Television was still largely a closed shop to black actors and, apart from repeating the stage role of Viney in The Miracle Worker when it was filmed in 1962, big-screen work also proved elusive in the early years.
		Although the film is sometimes criticised as ponderous and simplistic today, its theme of interracial marriage between a young black doctor and the daughter of seemingly liberal white parents provoked controversy and interest in 1967, and Richards' success as the supportive Mrs Prentice gained her considerable attention.
		When the British director Philip Leacock filmed the play in 1959, she reprised the role, thus escaping the typecasting that might have followed her screen debut as a maid in The Mugger (1958).

	Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
		The landmark film by post-WWII director Arthur Penn (who had previously directed The Miracle Worker (1962), The Train (1964), and Mickey One (1965) - also with Beatty) was ultimately a popular and commercial success, but it was first widely denounced by film reviewers for glamorizing the two killers and only had mediocre box-office results.
		It was produced by Warner Bros. - the studio responsible for the gangster films of the 1930s, and it seems appropriate that this innovative, revisionist film redefined and romanticized the crime/gangster genre and the depiction of screen violence forever.
		The film's overall impact was heightened by its open examination of the gallant Clyde's sexuality-impotence and the link to his gun-toting violence.
