Kathleen Collins
Kathleen Collins (March 18, 1942 – September 18, 1988) (also known as Kathleen Conwell, Kathleen Conwell Collins or Kathleen Collins Prettyman) was an African-American poet, playwright, writer, filmmaker, director, civil rights activist, and educator from Jersey City, New Jersey. Her two feature narratives—''The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy'' (1980) and '' Losing Ground'' (1982)—furthered the range of Black women's films.
