More about this programme
"Maya Angelou, in your life you've been all sorts of things: cook; a conductorette on a tram car; a madam; a prostitute; a dancer; a singer; an actress; a civil rights activist; a writer. What’s given you most satisfaction?" So opens this edition of the re-launched interview format Face to Face. Maya Angelou untangles her past to produce a compelling account of a life that led to her becoming one of America's most celebrated writers.

About BBC Four Collection programmes
Programmes are selected, in part, for their historical context and reflect the broadcast standards and attitudes of their time, which may not accord to some current BBC editorial guidelines. We aim to select programmes which can be shown in their entirety but in some cases edits are required. In these cases, edits are kept to a minimum and are made only for technical reasons.
