She died in 1988, at age 46, after a bout with breast cancer - a life, and a life’s work, cut brutally short. Collins, who was also an activist and playwright, never got the chance to make another film. “Losing Ground” (1982), which Collins wrote and directed, was one of the first feature-length dramas made by an African American woman. Kathleen Collins was a professor of film history at New York’s City College who made a groundbreaking contribution to the subject that she taught. ![]()
