Comedienne Shirley Hemphill, who played the overpowering black waitress on What's Happening!! , got her own comedy series in 1980. In One in a Million, down-to-earth cabdriver Shirley Simmons to inherits Grayson Enterprises, a multi-million-dollar, white run conglomerate, when one of her customers died. Bald, scowling Mr. Cushing found this quite inexplicable, as he had planned to take over himself, and he was doubly vexed when scrappy Shirley decided to teach the big "en-dustrailists" how to look out for the ordinary people. Barton Stone (Richard Stone) was the somewhat naive nephew of Mr. Grayson; Nancy Boyer (Dorothy Fielding), Grayson's secretary and Shirley's ally. Max Kellerman (Carl Ballantine), the owner of the deli where Shirley hung out. and Edna and Raymond Simmons (Ann Weldon and Mel Stewart), her parents.
