The Richard Pryor Show - Maya Angelou
Bar sketch, with Pryor as an alcoholic named 'Willie', and
featuring John Belushi as the bartender. Willie arrives at home, where his wife
(Maya Angelou) expresses her feelings on her husband's behavior, as he's passed
out on the sofa.
Dr. Maya Angelou says the love of her mother, Vivian Baxter, encouraged
her to live a life full of pizzazz. It was also that love that helped
Dr. Angelou to become the first black streetcar conductor in San
Francisco at age 16. "I loved the uniforms," Dr. Angelou says. "So I
said, 'That's a job I want.'" When she went to get an application, Dr.
Angelou says, the staff refused to give her one. Find out how her mother
encouraged her to persevere. Then, see how Vivian made sure her
daughter was safe at work during her early-morning shifts.
