[@globalvibrations2023]

Listening to Aunjanue do this interview, I still see a lot of Dr. Clark in her.

[@joymosley8997]

She also looks just like her. That's crazy!!!!

[@sharonbradshaw470]

Wow! what a testament to your acting skills to not have to audition to play DR MMC.

[@stessieegouy]

Great content as always! How georgous is that colour on her 😍

[@paulachinn6306]

My cousin. She deserves an Oscar.

[@TheCeeCeeH]

[@ctbt1832]

This women did an excellent good playing that roll. I don’t know anyone else who could’ve done better. Great Job Pretty Lady. Great Job.

[@lalagonegaga]

Her performance was insanely good.

[@yolandawalters2954]

Please respect her accomplishment. Her name is Dr. Mattie Moss-Clark.. Thank you..

[@joymosley8997]

Exactly. Each time he called her Mattie, I would get so irritated.

[@ladennayoung2939]

Calm down.

[@spiritualhem_]

Ladenna Young no ones overdoing it. But DR. Mattie moss Clark gained her title as a black Woman for a reason if you have an issue then you need to calm down

[@jaydee4646]

@@ladennayoung2939 People kill me with that especially when it's not even an earned degree. It's an honorary one.

[@cleopatradawn7821]

Aah shut up! I’m so sick of you KZbin police trying to get behind someone’s keyboard or cellphone trying to correct somebody at every turn! **WE KNEW WHO SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT!** Her post on here ain’t gonna take nothing away from that woman’s accomplishments! **WHO ARE YOU?!** You ain’t nobody’s Mother or grammar teacher on here! Neither are you in the position to demand any respect on DMMC’S behalf SO SHUT UP!

[@manyeah04]

She killed this role

[@ohreallymaryann]

Great interview! Her performance was absolutely stellar.

[@dwea1981]

You and the entire cast was AMAZING!

[@meschelledavis497]

I could have watched a whole season or more of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. Hope this turns into a series we can keep watching! I wanna see more facets of Dr. Clark and the Clark sisters and even the next generation! Such great acting and singing! 👏

[@meschelledavis497]

This was the most incredible biographical acting portrayal I have ever seen! I grew up Baptist and was in a great gospel choir growing up but I was very young and never really knew that it was Dr. Clark who influenced the Christian musical culture that I was apart of! I had never heard of her. I watched the movie and was enamored by the acting and strong character portrayal so of course after the movie, I Googled Dr. Mattie and was in awe of how much Aunjanue embodied her hair, her glasses, her mannerisms, her voice, her temperament, her personality so incredibly well!!!! She WAS Dr. Mattie Moss Clark! No one could have done it better! ❤

[@magicpoke1555]

Miss Ellis YOU ARE GOD BLESSED CHILD. YOU ARE A HERO. I LOVE YOU. #MIAMI,FL 305 LOVES YOU.

[@ladyjbadgurlzceo2021]

Dr. Mattie sir put some respeck on that name yes with a K.....Aunjunae Phenomenal u DID that

[@smcdade4577]

You are right, Sis. We are talking about someone's mother, an adult, and she is deceased. Dr. Clark or Mrs. Clark was not a friend of his, nor his contemporary. She was an elder. But as we know, over 400 yrs, elder black people were always called by their first name by the other race.

[@joy2theworld488]

Job Wonderfully Done!!❤❤

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

It's nuts because she really looks like Dr Clark.

[@JadaJae21]

How Queen so elegantly kelp saying Dr. Mattie… after the interviewer continued to disregard and disrespect by not saying DR, but simply Mattie….

[@tiffanytabb3106]

Love you sis! 🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍

[@cassandraholmes1842]

Loved her, loved her performance

[@ladennayoung2939]

She did a good job in the movie.

[@creativestylesimages7338]

I love me some Clark Sisters...... My favorite are "Is My Living In Vane?" "There's a leak in this Old Building"

[@melliemel32]

There’s a Leak is The Anointed Pace Sisters.

[@chauntoraadams5134]

Amazing

[@Hiddenjewel76.]

SHE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB IN THIS ROLE. SHE DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO HER. HER PERFORMANCE WAS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN DENZEL'S AND JAMIE FOX'S PORTRAYAL OF MALCOM X AND RAY CHARLES. PROBABLY WILL WATCH IT WITH FAM FOR THE HOLIDAYS. GR8 JOB QUEEN. Not to mention SHE STILL FOINE LOL LOL

[@hazemcdanill8336]

[@DRLEWIS]

Ms. Aunjanue Ellis, you DID THAT!!! Look, I want to share with you THE ANOINTING, the HOLY GHOST hit me during this interview! Yes!

[@ladennayoung2939]

I forgot that she was in When They See Us. I'm glad that their story got told. But that was a hard movie to watch. They didn't deserve that at all.

[@cleopatradawn7821]

When she took off her shoe and threw it? Wow.

[@himayhambles3819]

Iv loved her since True Blood when she played a vampire named.... wait for it...... Denise 😂😂

[@teeingram5858]

It was not true blood nor cover it is Ray

[@himayhambles3819]

Tee Ingram you dont make sense. And she was most definitely on True Blood. You can literally look up her past movie and tv roles on google. Not to mention i wacthed true blood like 6 times every season. She was most definitely in it and played a vampire

[@MylaLovesYou]

Close but her name was diane but she did play denise in a movie called in too deep 🤣🤣🤣

[@darrietclark988]

Just imagine in heaven the real mattie moss clark meets the actor playing as her aunjaune ellis what do you think she will say to her

[@teeingram5858]

You should is well believed it

[@teeingram5858]

That purple got too go

[@lorebay2593]

Haha, I love it, but I was focusing on those distracting flopping earrings.

[@jaydee4646]

NO disrespect, but honorary degrees are not earned. I actually have an earned doctorate. Not trying to discredit anyone, but so many people have honorary degrees that we would be calling every celebrity and their mamma doctor. She is Ms. Mattie Moss-Clark

[@jaiyahcarr-thompson9813]

She pioneered 3 part harmony in contemporary gospel. Her accomplishments were way more than that which can be attained by a degree. Do something significant with your doctorate and stop trying to gate-keep what goes on in Choral studies.

[@lorebay2593]

What??? Get outta here, we know what an honorary degree is, it was given to her so she has a right to wear Dr. as she knew her craft well and was able to teach it.

[@flourish5blessing424]

Dr. MMC created something in music and choir that is used by choirs and singers all over world till today. She was a doctor in her field- she deserved the doctorate and no one can take that away from her. She earned it more than many who went to school , wrote and took exams for. Dr. Matties work is still being studied in colleges where choir and singing is taught till today. There isn’t any other person more deserving of that doctorate. Dr. Mattie Moss Clark’s memory deserves our respect. Listen to many superstars including her on family who gleaned from her expertise.
