Dalyce Curry, or Momma Dee to her family, had a large personality and her granddaughter says there's no other way to describe her other than fabulous.

She settled in Los Angeles, where she never became a star but did rub shoulders with some of the elites of old Hollywood, including backing up singer Pearl Bailey, being an extra in a scene with Diana Ross in "Lady Sings the Blues" and being mentored by the first Black woman to ever sign a movie contract.
