If anyone hasn't seen ''Blackface and Hollywood,'' TCM's 12-minute documentary, it's worth a look. And a number of its scenes are still startling. It includes a section on minstrel shows, which gave rise to blackface, and features stars who did it, like Al Jolson and Fred Astaire. In the wake of anti-Asian violence in this country, I'd love to see TCM do a followup film about ''Yellowface and Hollywood.''
