Traditionally show business was one of the only ways an African American could circumvent the worst of racism and embark on the same kind of self-reinvention that Millie is attempting -- and, in 1922, there were limited avenues for that trajectory available to African-Americans. That said, from a narrative perspective, the story can be told no matter what the race of the actress playing Muzzy. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56213"></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56214"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56215"></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56216"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56217"></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56218">Ensemble<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56219"></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524836380039_56220">Moderns; Stenographers; Hotel Priscilla Girls; Muzzy's Boys</div></div></body></html>
