Personal Quote:

[About "Testament" in a 1983 interview] I never worked in Hollywood. This one got picked up by Hollywood, bur probably would never have been made there. Cable would never have given me production money on a gamble; they're hiring Elizabeth Taylor and Carol Burnett, not Jane Alexander and Bill Devane. I'd never directed a film. I'm a woman. And the material is completely difficult.

Trivia:

The Sunday night the CBS network premiered Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years (1999), the Showtime network premiered the 2-hour movie Freak City (1999) opposite it. _Both films were directed by Littman. See more »
