Tonight I watched the movie "Rosewood" with Esther Rolle. How many Good Times fans have watched this? This movie must've been filmed shortly before her death.

View Full Version : A little off-topic/Esther Rolle film seventies_sitcoms 03-28-2005, 02:28 AM Tonight I watched the movie "Rosewood" with Esther Rolle. How many Good Times fans have watched this? This movie must've been filmed shortly before her death. Trishalla 03-28-2005, 12:55 PM I saw it as usual she was good she was a good actress period for me Rosewood was emotional because of the way they were killing blacks but She was good knl9674 04-07-2005, 10:51 AM Saw it, excellent. When i first fell in love with the mangod that is Ving Rhames. I could never watch that movie again though..too emotional...too sad. Yea, the last 2 movies she did before she died was Rosewood (which I believe she passed before the movie even came out..I could be wrong though) and Down in the Delta (Alfre Woodward). If you haven't seen that, you should see it. Classic Ester Rolle. great actress. i believe she also did a few stints of Raisin in the Sun when it was on Broadway and off Broadway back in the day.

I haven't caught Rosewood yet, but I do remember her playing a senile dementia sufferer in Down in the Delta which came out just after she died. That was spooky to watch. What did she die from? Her performance in Raisin in the Sun with Danny Glover was broadcast on PBS in 1989 and is available on videotape. She was good in that part. seventies_sitcoms 05-08-2005, 07:31 PM I haven't caught Rosewood yet, but I do remember her playing a senile dementia sufferer in Down in the Delta which came out just after she died.

I think Esther died from complications caused by diabetes. A real loss!!! :( |
