This footage captures Hattie McDaniel on December 15th 1949 making a rare TV appearance on "The Ed Wynn Show" as Beulah, her popular radio persona.

At the time this show aired Hattie McDaniel was best known for her radio-sitcom "Beulah" in which she was cast as a maid who always ended up fixing the troubles of her white employers, thus becoming the first African-American actress to star in her own radio comedy series.
