Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Polly”

December 10th, 2012 - By Veronica Wells

Set in 1950′s segregated Alabama, Polly was the all black remake of the original Pollyanna. With the Cosby connection and Debbie Allen directing, people were anxious to see it. You know the story, you’ve watched the VHS over and over again but we bet you don’t know these behind the scenes secrets.

    The church scene was epid. The guy who was Michael Jackson’s choegrapher in the 80′s (Thriller, Beat It) did the dancing in this movie. When Vanessa Bell Caloway started dancing, I realized all that talent in this movie. Second, the hot chemistry between Dorian Harewood and Phylicia Rashad. I know they made a sequel but I honestly thought they would be in another movie or tv show together. They seemed like a real couple. Third, I loved the scene where everyone comes to see Polly. I’m getting this on Netflix.

    Man, I forgot all about that Polly movie, I was 7 years old when that movie came out on NBC and remember watching it with my older cousins and my mother. Thank you MN for bringing back childhood memories with this article.
