Hattie Winston was born on March 3, 1945 in Lexington, Mississippi, USA. She is an actress, known for The Electric Company (1971), Becker (1998) and Jackie Brown (1997). She is married to Harold Wheeler. They have one child.
I feel it is vital to understand your own culture because the history that you are defines, in a great sense, who you can be in the present time. I find that so very often, as an African-American woman, who I am is being defined by other people rather than myself.
