This question goes out to Jen.
What are the odds that someone would make a true biopic(ala Ray) of Richard?
Has there been any interest? Who could you see playing Richard? What does anyone else think?
Jo Jo Dancer was a good movie but I think there is more to Richard than what we saw in that movie.

Jennifer,
I just realized I wanted to thank you and whoever else is responsible for getting Richard's TV show out on DVD. For the longest I dreamnt of the day when I could find it on video or DVD. Not many people I talk to remember his show. Many of which are older than me and I'm 40! But this is an important piece of television and comedy history. I admire what you've done and I'd really like to see you continue to bring forth more videos and documentaries about comedians we know very little about. Like Nipsey Russell, Flip Wilson (very important man), Pigmeat Markham, Moms Mabley, Stu Gilliam, Scoey Mitchell...I could go on all night. I couldn't give rip whether who does this is Black or White as long as it get's done and done well. Hell...I haven't heard Spike say he was going to do it so go for it. I'm rambling but the point I'm trying so hard to make is there is an abundance of information that we as comedians and others who appreciate the art need to see and hear.

Thanks for educating us and keep it up

Chelcie
