To make it easier to find the movie or the TV show you are looking for, I've separated the list into four different categories: Motion Pictures (films shown on cinemas such as Claudine), TV Movies (such as The Sweetest Gift), TV Series As Actress (shows such as Dynasty and Julia, as well as guest appearances on series such as Soul Food) and finally TV Specials & Guest Appearances as Herself (including music specials and performances - including comedy skits - in shows such as The Judy Garland Show, The Tonight Show etc).
