About Pearl's in the House

Early in 1987, Pearl Bailey arrives in Washington, D. C., on the eve of a scheduled performance in the Reagan White House, and agrees to a television interview that she expects to be a standard waltz through the highlights of her career. The satin gloves come off rather quickly, however, as the ambitous talk-show host, Renata Jackson, calls into question many of the entertainer's personal and polical motives. Bailey responds the only way she know's how - through her music.

Pearl Bailey walked with kings and danced with presidents in a career spanning five decades that included film, television, nightclubs, and the Broadway stage where her indelible star turn leading an all-black cast in Hello, Dolly! earned her a special Tony Award. An inimitable comedienne, singer and best-selling author, she blazed trails beginning with her 1952 inter-racial marriage to the white jazz drummer, Louis Bellson, and ending with her work as a Special Delegate to the United Nations.
