By JPPT1974, Jan 14, 2007

I have liked Leslie Uggams as I have the Roots series in my collection of tapes and movies. She is like the jack of all trades. She does Broadway, tv, singing, and movies. I think that she is a very beautiful woman and that she eems to be a great person in reali life as well. She looks great in her now sixties I presume.
