At 13, she and Bailey went to live with their mom who married a man called Daddy Clidell. He turned out to be the first father Maya had ever known, and the family moved to San Francisco. At 16, she quite deliberately dispensed with her virginity, inviting the participation of a good-looking local boy without thinking through the possible consequences. She found herself pregnant. Her folks were supportive, and in the summer of 1944 she gave birth to a son, Guy. She married a Greek man in 1949 from whom she took the name Angelou, but she has little to say about the relationship which ended three years later. A long-time devotee of dance, she made an attempt to form her own troupe. In the '50s, she became a nightclub performer, specializing in Calypso songs and dances. She performed in various clubs and landed a role in "Porgy and Bess" for a 22-country tour of Europe and Africa. After the tour, Angelou returned to the nightclub circuit. "The Blacks" opened on May 4, 1961 at the St. Mark's Playhouse, winning the Obie award in 1961 for the best off-Broadway play.
