Ethel Waters was an awesome singer/actress in the 80's. She was known for her beautiful voice and presences that she brings to the stage. Walters was the second African - American to be nominated for an Academy Awards. In addition she recorded several of albums and had three of her recoding were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Was Walters Life too good to be transformed into a tragic Monologue?
Nope! Walter's life wasn't so glamorous before she entered into the entertainment industry. Walter became the result to the rape incident that her mother was involved in her teenage years. Unfortunately, the unexpected birth of Walters caused her to have a rough life growing up in Chester, Pennsylvania. Her life was unstable and she had to move from different homes constantly through her young life. It was her own responsibility to take care of herself because her family was not there for her. In addition, she entered into a abusive marriage at the age of thirteen and was able to to get out of it when she got the chance.
Walter's life experiences did not end here, however I believe that I can portray this women well in my tragic monologue. The personality and struggles that Walter faced, challenges me to find a connection from my own life experiences.
I am excited to study the great wonders of this women and the tragic time that she had to face. Once I work hard and dedicate myself to Ethel Walters then I will be able to find the authenticity of the character. In the end I will work hard to dedicate myself to this great women, and be transformed into Ethel Waters.
