Wilma (1977) | Black History Month: Denzel Washington’s First Film

Black History Month Movie Presentation: Wilma (1977) | Denzel Washington’s Historic Debut This Black History Month, BlackTree Media proudly presents Wilma (1977), a film that not only tells the inspiring story of Olympic gold medalist Wilma Rudolph but also marks the historic on-screen debut of a young, gap-toothed Denzel Washington. This NBC TV movie was where Denzel first shared the screen with the legendary Cicely Tyson and, more importantly, where he met Pauletta Pearson—his future wife and life partner for over 40 years and counting. Wilma is more than just a movie—it’s a pivotal moment in cinematic history. This project, in essence, launched the career of not only Denzel Washington but also his children, including actor John David Washington, actress Olivia Washington, producer Katia Washington, and The Piano Lesson director Malcolm Washington. Their legacy in Hollywood all traces back to this film, making it a must-watch for fans of Black cinema and cultural history. Join us in celebrating Black excellence, perseverance, and love as we honor Wilma Rudolph’s journey and the first steps of an acting legend.
