SILVER SPRING, MD - January 9, 2013 - TV One is expanding its NAACP Image Award-winning Unsung franchise with new series Unsung Hollywood, premiering Wednesday, February 26 at 10PM/ET. From revealing portraits of beloved stars of film and television, including feminist film icon Pam Grier and politically charged comic Dick Gregory, to in-depth stories behind the making (and breaking) of influential films and TV series such as Cooley High and What's Happening!!, Unsung Hollywood shines a spotlight on subjects and stories that have rarely or never been told. Preceding Unsung Hollywood's debut in February, flagship series Unsung will return with all-new episodes beginning Wednesday, January 29 at 10PM/ET.

"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 will share rare stories from film, television, comedy and sports stars through clips, archival and contemporary performances, and exclusively shot, behind-the-scenes footage. As with Unsung, Unsung Hollywood also features in-depth personal interviews with the talent as well as their family members, friends, industry associates, fellow entertainers and various cultural commentators.
