great showing of Abby (1974) at the New Mission last night. found out the star Carol Speed grew up around the Central Valley/Bay Area and was the first black student to receive a scholarship to A.C.T. in San Francisco.
an excellent interview with Carol (who passed away in Jan 2022) discussing her career and Abby in particular here:
