Maya Angelou’s soul-stirring poetry and narrative makes her one of the most influential artists of our time, but her performances alongside Hollywood’s biggest stars have been equally stirring. Take a look back at her biggest roles.

Maya Angelou plays Ruby in the controversial opera, Porgy and Bess, moving European audiences with its memorable score and frank discussions of African-American culture in the South.
