A famous American sitcom star was once terminated from a movie production after executives saw a photo of her donning a black face, she revealed in an interview broadcast on August 9.

Film production crew members were not amused when they saw a still image of comedian Sarah Silverman with black paint on her face for a controversial 2007 sketch about race in her Sarah Silverman Program.
