Theresa Merritt Hines, (usually credited as Theresa Merritt, sometimes credited as Theresa Merritte), b. 24 September 1924 Emporia, VA, USA - d. 12 June 1998 Bronx, NY, USA, was a prolific American stage actress and singer. She appeared in many theatrical productions but gained fame later in life when she starred in and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (Tony Award nomination) and The Wiz (she replaced Mabel King as Evelline, and although the demanding role was a highly visible one for her she left it, citing its deleterious effect on her voice) and the television series That's My Mama.
She was married to Benjamin Hines; they had four children.
