 She starred with de Havilland and Gable in "Gone with the Wind" (1939).Around this time, she was criticized by members of the black community for the roles she accepted and for pursuing roles aggressively rather than rocking the Hollywood boat.For example, in "The Little Colonel" (1935), she played one of the black servants longing to return to the Old South, but her portrayal of Malena in RKO Pictures's "Alice Adams" angered white Southern audiences, because she stole several scenes from the film's white star, Katharine Hepburn.
