Francine Everett
Francine Everett, who was called the most beautiful woman in Harlem and one of the most beautiful actresses to appear on screen. She became a familiar face with black audiences through the race films, now known as Black Cinema. She was one of the few who became a movie star through Black Cinema and could call themselves a true actress. Blacks could relate to the beauty because despite her roles, she maintained a down to earthness about her, warmth and was attainable more so than Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge who in Hollywood movies developed aloofness and had to please white audiences more so than Blacks and had to let go of some of the black image. The films in Black Cinema may have been low-budgeted but Francine's performances surely weren't, she gave her all in films, as though they were Hollywood movies. Francine didn't have a lot of directions in her movies but being the true actress she was, she didn't need much direction to give a stellar performance. When she wasn't acting, she was in soundies, singing or dancing, it's said she appeared in over a 100. She modeled clothes and hairstyles for print ads, magazines and newspapers. Also she sang in nightclubs, her lovely singing voice possess soul, allure, and charm which she also showcased in many movies. She was also quite a dancer, dancing in a dance group called The Four Black Cats that traveled the U.S. Her stage appearances included, Humming Sam and Swing It which were both very popular shows on Broadway. Francine started in show business at a young age. She studied and acted with the Federal Theater in Harlem, which was sponsored by the Works Progress Administration. She married legendary actor 'Rex Ingram' i who gained fame in his starring role on screen in "Green Pastures." It's been said Francine was offered the role of one of the angels but turned it down mainly because it was stereotyped. Francine appeared in the most important films of Black Cinema, the ones that could be called a true movie. She appeared in Paradise in Harlem (1939), 'Keep Punching (1939), Big Timers (1945),"Stars on Parade," '_Tall, Tan, and Terrific' (1946)_, '_Dirty Gertie from Harlem U.S.A.' (1946)_, '_Ebony Parade' (1947)_ (which also starred Dorothy Dandridge) and its been said she appeared in 2 Hollywood movies, "Lost Boundaries" and 'No Way Out (1950). In "Paradise In Harlem," Francine shone brighter than any in the cast when she gave a compelling performance doing Shakespeare by portraying Desdemona. Francine was fantastic as the woman who pleads/sings for her life to be spared. She only appeared in a few films but substantial films where she showed versatility and talent and proves why she's one of the best black actresses in history. She's done more in her few films than most have done in many films. Hollywood surely wanted Francine, but first Hollywood felt Francine should pay her dues by playing maid roles first, which she refused. She didn't want to play stereotypes when she could play roles suited for an actress in Black Cinema.

Francine Locke
Francine's career started in photography, modeling for national publications, traveling throughout in the Midwest, Toronto & Montreal. She began working in commercials & industrial training films, booking roles on Chicago productions, like Early Edition and Chicago Story, and played opposite Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Although her acting career began in her hometown of Chicago, it blossomed in the south. With a successful print and commercial career under her belt, she took a 10 year hiatus, and then got back into the industry with a bang, winning a Best Supporting nomination on her first film, and then booking the lead role in the award winning feature film, "Stand your Ground". Having fallen in love with the South while on location, she soon moved to the Atlanta area and booked the recurring role of Sandra Barkley (Avery's mom) on CMT's Nashville. Roles on Necessary Roughness, The Originals, The Dream Factory, Halt and Catch Fire followed, but her favorite was a viral transformation on Fox's The Passage. She has had many lead and supporting roles in a number of feature films, including Mine 9, Christmas Ranch, Keys to the City, Charlies Christmas Wish, Calm Before, Modern Prodigal (also produced) and Circles (pilot) where she was in her essence as a strong, battle weary, never-again-victim, fighting against unknown invaders. Along with her success in front of the camera, Locke has taken on the role of Producer, in order to have a more active role in the stories she tells. "As an actress, you train and work, and pretty much have to just wait to get hired. I am not very good at waiting, I believe in challenging myself, and doing what has to be done, not waiting for someone else. And when I don't know how to do something, I can always learn, what's life without challenges?" With this in mind, she started ElFilm Productions, LLC (named for her mother), produced several short films, won some awards, and has produced her first feature film, Modern Prodigal, which was immediately picked up for distribution by Bridgestone Multimedia Group, and is available on Amazon. Her goal is to make good films about real people, who make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. "I want to make people think, see another perspective, remember moments, and maybe even set them up to make better choices." She recently optioned a 2 book series by award winning author Deborah Raney, and hopes to be in production before the end of 2020.
