A change of course
Lee Chamberlin sang professionally in France before she turned to acting. A small label, Chez Impact, signed her, and she appeared at L'Olympia in Paris.
Big break
Chamberlin's big break in television came in 1971, when she joined the original cast of the CTW children's show The Electric Company. She appeared during its first two years and left the show in 1973.
Behind the camera
Chamberlin was unhappy with how African Americans were portrayed in the arts, so she began writing and directing to change that. Her musical play Struttin' earned her six AUDELCO Awards on November 21, 1988.
