Joel Fluellen was born on December 1, 1907 in Monroe, Louisiana, USA. He was an actor, known for Porgy und Bess (1959), Ein Fleck in der Sonne (1961) and Lockende Versuchung (1956). He died on February 2, 1990 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
African-American actor who was initially hesitant upon appearing in films due to the limited range of roles available for actors of his race. Indeed, more than not, he played servile roles (natives, cabbies, waiters, porters). Quite opinionated, he lobbied hard for better parts and working conditions for his fellow African-American performers, and was gratified to see some progress in the early 1970s. Dogged by illness, he committed suicide (by gunshot) at age 82.
