Alice B. Russell is better known as Oscar Micheaux's wife, but she played important parts in almost all of her husband's films. Alice usually played the sympathetic mother figure, a mature role model, a guardian angel to young naive ladies, etc. She was a wonderful emotional actress, never overdoing her sadness and pain but just enough to move you. Alice proved to be a fine actress in many roles - whether small or large she made her presence known. Ten Minutes to Live (1932), Murder in Harlem (1935), God's Step Children (1938), Birthright (1938), among others, had moments that let her light shine.
