“Taking a cue from the original, music-centric Unsung series, Unsung Hollywood fosters TV One’s overarching mission to highlight black artists, entertainers and programming,” said D’Angela Proctor, SVP of Programming and Production for TV One. “Unsung Hollywood recounts the achievements of some of the most beloved and groundbreaking artists in the African American creative community—all of whom have devoted their lives to making their mark in movies, television, comedy and sports—and in the process, have helped elevate and transform the entertainment experience.”
Unsung Hollywood is narrated by Gary Anthony Williams and is executive produced by Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Mark Rowland and Frank Sinton of A. Smith & Co. Productions for TV One. Henry Schipper is Co-Executive Producer. Executive in charge of production for TV One is Robyn Greene Arrington, and producer for TV One is Lamar Chase.
