California state Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner was interviewed for the 2012 documentary Citizen Change (Frameline 36). The narrative took and unexpected, intriguing, and poignant turn as she recounts the unraveling of a family secret, involving a disowned great-aunt (also a renowned tennis champion and coach in the 1940’s), a young daughter just coming out, and, ardently, Barbara Stanwyck. Skinner’s oral narrative weaves family love, intolerance, hidden lesbian history, and the final closing of a family circle in so compelling a manner that it could not be left on the cutting-room floor. |
