Synopsis: Based on the 1933 best-selling novel, Imitation of Life is one of the most beloved and respected stories of all-time. Bea (Claudette Colbert) and Delilah (Louise Beavers) are two women each with young daughters who build a life and a fortune together selling Delilah's pancake recipe. Unfortunately, success does not save them from sorrow with the passing years. Delilah's light-skinned teenager rejects her mother and her race while Bea must choose between the man she loves and the daughter who loves him too.
