Ketty Lester, Moses Gunn, and Blacula

TVC 570.3: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Ketty Lester, the Grammy Award-nominated singer/actress known around the world for her international No. 1 hit record from 1962, “Love Letters (Straight from Your Heart),” and for playing schoolteacher Hester Sue Terhune on Little House on the Prairie and Juanita, the wise-cracking cab driver, in the 1972 blaxploitation horror movie Blacula. In this segment, Ketty talks to Ed about how she came to join the cast of Little House, as well as some of her other film and TV roles. She also shares a few memories of working with Moses Gunn (both before and during Little House), Bernie Mac, David Janssen, and with William Marshall and director William Crain on Blacula. Ketty’s memoir, Ketty Lester: A Memoir: From Arkansas to Grammy nominated Love Letters to Little House on the Prairie, is available at Amazon.com and wherever books are sold online.
