All 4 of the Velma Mulholland (Film Noir / Black-and-White Woman) sketches from "In Living Color". Played by Kelly Coffield.
Kelly explains how the sketches were made:
“It was really Damon [who pushed for that]. I mean so much stuff came from us sitting around and just horsing around at the table or being out somewhere together. We would just all pile into somebody's car and then we would show up at some restaurant and we'd all have lunch together and just be endlessly entertained by one another. And Damon, I was talking to him and I was like [Velma voice], 'Listen, buddy, I'll tell you what.' And he's like. 'You really ought to make a character and write something.' That was the first thing I ever actually just wrote and handed in and said, 'I want to do this.' And I think it was really because of his encouragement and support.
“The black and white effect was fascinating to people, also. I remember Frank Oz calling the producers and asking how they did it. Everyone's seen it done on film but nobody had seen it done on video. They turned me into a blue screen. I literally looked like a Smurf. Every single costume I wore, every hat they made, every prop that was my personal prop, like a purse or a pair of gloves or whatever it was, every single thing was a shade of blue. And I honestly think I've been referred to as 'the black and white lady' on 'In Living Color' more than I have 'the white lady' on 'In Living Color.' People love Velma Mulholland.”
