Biography

Kathleen Collins was an activist with SNCC during the Civil Rights Movement who went on to carve out a career for herself as a playwright and filmmaker during a time when black women were rarely seen in those roles. Her most known work is the film Losing Ground, followed perhaps by two plays, In the Midnight Hour, and The Brothers.
