From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Rosetta LeNoire (August 8, 1911 - March 17, 2002) was an American stage, screen, and television actress, as well as a Broadway producer and casting agent. As a young girl LeNoire suffered from rickets, which her godfather, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, helped her overcome by teaching her to dance. LeNoire made her acting debut in a 1939 production of The Hot Mikado, starring Robinson, in which she played "Little Maid From School" Peep-Bo. She also appeared onstage, mostly as a singer and dancer, in I Had a Ball, Bassa Moona, Marching with Jimmy, Janie, Decision, Three's a Family, Destry Rides Again, and the Off Broadway Double Entry (two one-act musicals showcasing Lenoire: "The Bible Salesman," with a pre-SNL Garrett Morris, and "The Oldest Trick in the World" with Jane Connell). LeNoire is best known to contemporary audiences for her work in television. She had regular roles on the series Gimme a Break! and Amen, and is best known for her role as Estelle Winslow on Family Matters. In 1999, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts.

Dizi5.5Pembe DiziAnother World, 4 Mayıs 1964'ten 25 Haziran 1999'a kadar 35 yıl boyunca NBC'de yayınlanan bir Amerikan televizyon dizisidir. Kurgusal Bay City kasabasında geçen dizi, ilk yıllarında spiker Bill Wolff'un “Bu dünyada yalnız yaşamıyoruz, binlerce başka dünyada da yaşıyoruz” şeklindeki epigramıyla başlıyordu. Phillips, bunun “yaşadığımız olayların dünyası ile uğruna çabaladığımız duyguların ve hayallerin dünyası” arasındaki farkı temsil ettiğini söylemişti. Another World, diğer pembe dizilerde görülen geleneksel aile hayatı dramlarından çok, farklı sınıf ve felsefelere sahip aileler arasındaki egzotik melodramlara odaklanıyordu.
