MINI BIO:
Stepin Fetchit was a gloomy-looking actor who, after beginning his career in minstrel shows, had great success as the slow-moving character 'Gummy' in "Hearts in Dixie" (1929) and repeated it over and over again. Although reviled in later years over his 'Yas'm Iaz comin' image, Fetchit became the first great black Hollywood star, at one time owning six houses and a fleet of limousines (including a pink one) although he went bankrupt in 1945. He tried a comeback in the 1950s, but his image was passe.
