Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I te tau 1934, i kitea a Knowlden ko tetahi o nga kaitoi tamariki ruarua kua whakapumautia i roto i te umanga whakataetae. Ko ia tetahi o nga kaiwhakaari e toru i whakaahuatia a Jessie Pullman (i te waru o ona tau) i te kiriata Universal Pictures 1934 "Imitation of Life". Neke atu i te 100 ngā tamariki i whakamātautau mō te tūranga i riro i a ia. Ko te kiriata, i ahu mai i te pukapuka a Fannie Hurst o te tau 1933 o te ingoa kotahi, e pa ana ki te kaupapa o te haere (he kaupapa ka tirotirohia ano i roto i tetahi kiriata i puta ia i etahi tau i muri mai, "Whakaaturanga Boat"). I takaro ia i te tamahine o te ahua o Claudette Colbert i a ia e tamariki ana. I whakaingoatia mō te Academy Award mō te Pikitia Pai rawa atu i te 7th Academy Awards
te tau e whai ake nei. I te tau 2005, i tohua te kiriata hei tiaki i te United States National Film Registry mo te whakaaro "he ahurea, he hitori, he ataahua ranei".
