#16. Imitation of Life (1959)

Storyline: Aspiring actress Lora Meredith meets Annie Johnson, a homeless black woman at Coney Island and soon they share a tiny apartment. Each woman has an intolerable daughter, though, Annie's little girl Sarah Jane, is by far the worse.

Lora, meanwhile, virtually ignores her own daughter in a single-minded quest for stardom.
