    Her parents were/are in the biz. Her mother was an actress (Maggie Baird.) I neither recognize the name nor the face.

    My goodness! How could we be so ignorant as to not recognize a celebrity with all those accolades?

    It’s a shot in the dark but maybe because I’m (or we’re) getting old and could care less about knowing the history of some celebrity.

    I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it.
    If there was a committee formed to investigate all the names of countries, cities, towns, lakes, ponds, rivers, flowers, birds, trees, sea life etc to see which ones were named by someone who owned or used slaves, ……get my drift?

    It would seem that idiocy abounds…!

    Here's a quote from google search.

    "There are more people in slavery today than at any time in human history. The best estimate, according to the U.S. State Department, is 27 million, and that does not include bonded labour".Oct 31, 2020

    Why aren't those Fighting so hard to change a name, Instead use their energy to fight modern day slavery.

    Oh my heavens.
    How could we have diamonds, cacao, lithium and great tennis shoes without slavery?
