Ollie Goes to Hollywood


Listen Later

Do you know the name, Ollie Burgoyne?

Coming up in the same American entertainment period of trailblazers like Bert Williams, George Walker, and Aida Overton Walker, Olga "Ollie" Burgoyne (despite my mispronunciation, the emphasis is on the 'goyne' - bur-GOYNE) appeared in at least one Hollywood film and is believed to have worked behind-the-scenes in others. 

Hear her story on this episode of the Kindaris Pictures Podcast.
