I recently viewed the movie "Casablanca" and wondered about the career of Dooley Wilson. Wilson, an African American, played the piano player and sidekick of the Humphrey Bogart character. Wilson was "Sam". Another supporting actor in the movie was Sydney Greenstreet who played Ferrari; he owned the Blue Parrot nightclub. Wilson was paid $ 350 a week for 7 weeks while Greenstreet was paid $ 3750 a week (and this was liberal Hollywood?).
