LEON PINKNEY Born in Harlem, Pinkney lived during his early youth with relatives in Savannah, Georgia, where he worked in the fields until the age of 12. The back-breaking labor came to an end when he returned to the city of his birth to live on New York's lower East Side with his mother and sisters. While attending Seward Park High School, Pinkney met Woody King, Jr., of the Mobilization for Youth program. King saw something special in the boy, and helped him obtain a grant which, along with a donation from Otto Preminger, enabled Pinkney to write, direct and act in the film "You Dig It," eventually shown on television. In "Uptown Saturday Night," a picture directed by Sidney Poitier, starring Bill Cosby, Harry Belafonte, Flip Wilson, Richard Pryor, Roscoe Lee Brown and Rosalind Cash. The film was a hilarious spoof on actions which took place one Saturday night in Harlem and was one of the hits for Black Movies in the First Year of the Third Century.
