I just found out that Carlena Beard, sister of Matthew "Stymie" Beard died back in 1972, at age 42, according to the IMDB. I also found out that she portrayed Marmalade in the epidsode, "Readin and Writin." I was wondering does anyone have any information on her life, and how she died?

She married Lional Hampton and assisted him. That was after she was a dancer.

From what I have read, Lionel's wife/manager was named Gladys.

Carlena Beard was also the original "Buckwheat".
This was a couple years after she played Marmalade.
