Zara Cully
Zara Frances Cully (January 26, 1892 – February 28, 1978) was an American actress, known for her role as Olivia "Mother Jefferson" Jefferson on the CBS sitcom The Jeffersons (1975-78).
Early life and career
Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on January 26, 1892, Cully was one of ten siblings. She graduated from the Worcester School of Speech and Music, and was one of the oldest performers active in television at the time of her death. In 1940, after an appearance in New York City she became known as "one of the world's greatest elocutionists". After moving to Jacksonville, Florida, she began producing, writing, directing, and acting in numerous plays. For 15 years she was a drama teacher at her own studio as well as at Edward Waters College, and had become known as Florida's "Dean of Drama" before her inability or unwillingness to adapt to the then-prevailing social customs in the South directed her decision to leave for Hollywood, where she became a regular performer at the Ebony Showcase Theatre.

In Your Eyes
by: Sarah KellySweet Illusion knows my name
Take a breath and run away
Never ending to pretending
To escape the pain
Honesty please come to me
Humbly I've found my knees
I am blind but I want to see
Come now truth and find me
In your eyes
I see for the very first time
In this light
I feel and I know I'm alive
No need to entertain the game
On the streets of empty fame
No sufficing too enticing
No one left to blame
But honesty has come to me
Freedom found down on my knees
I was blind but now I can see
Truth has finally come to me
In your eyes
I see for the very first time
In the light
I feel and I know I'm alive
I'll wake up any moment now
It's so hard to believe that the traitor is me
Love is breaking through the night somehow
Not as real as it seems, here inside of this dream
In your eyes
I see for the very first time
In the light
I feelâ¦l and I know I'm alive
And in your eyes
I see for the very first time
In the light
