She was nearly blinded,” says Levine, who now runs
In some ways, Moore’s inviting, yet unknowable persona was shaped as a reaction to her own trauma. One autobiographical element left out of the documentary is that “Of course, when you live with someone for 30-plus years, you get to know one another,” Levine says. Still, Moore’s tuna sandwich confession was new to him, found by chance when Adolphus pressed him for additional Mary footage.
As the documentary’s release looms, those who have spent the last five years entrenched in her personal artifacts are pondering Moore’s legacy. Waithe sees it mirrored in her own career—her production company Hillman Grad, partly inspired by MTM Enterprises; Hattie, the heroine of her BET seriesdancing in homage to Mary throwing up her hat in the air. Adolphus hopes Moore would find it depicted in his documentary. Levine sees it read back to him each time he visits Moore’s memorial site.
