Playing Mamie Till-Mobley took over Danielle Deadwyler's life. But the actress never does anything halfway. zakcheneyrice reports
Deadwyler’s portrayal of Mamie Till-Mobley — a career-making turn, equal parts fragile poise and barely checked rage — owes a lot to her upbringing in Southwest Atlanta. She lived with her parents, an older sister, and two brothers in a 1920s bungalow off what was then Stewart Avenue and is now Metropolitan Parkway. “My sister wrote this play about our community,” she said. “It’s a simple place. It has drugs, it has prostitution, but nobody’s malicious.
That verdict — “not guilty,” though Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam confessed the following year — has garnered renewed interest in light of revelations about the woman at the center of the case, Carolyn Donham Bryant. In June, an unserved 1955 warrant for her arrest for helping kidnap Emmett was discovered in the basement of a Leflore County, Mississippi, courthouse. The boy’s relatives called for the now-88-year-old to be detained and charged, which a local grand jury declined to do in August.
When Deadwyler resettled in Atlanta 12 years ago to be closer to family while raising her son, after stints in New York and Vancouver, it was with the modest belief that her hometown’s creative scene had “a rugged, DIY quality” that would make its institutions more “penetrable” for someone like her. In a later conversation, she brought a list of terms to describe what distinguishes southern art to her: “old next to new, antiquated next to the modern, sex adjacent to domestic.
