A TV commercial for the Black Acting School shows its (white) teachers providing the finer points of jive talking and stud strutting. Bobby stars in a Stallone-style epic, Rambro: First Young Blood, and wins the Best Actor Oscar over Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Townsend knows Bobby fully lives where we all live, in dreams of glory, agony, love -- of life's infinite possibilities. In real life, most...
