Biography:Having worked steadily through the '70s on television and in blaxploitation films, African-American actress "Margaret Avery" did not become a star until she was cast as Shug in "Steven Spielberg"'s adaptation of "The Color Purple" (1985), a performance that won her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Though the quality of her films briefly improved, her stardom was only fleeting and she returned to less visible work. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
