I'm not absolutely sure but I think it's called Imitation of Life.
It's a really old movie and the ending is very sad.
It might be "Imitation of Life". Do a Google search on it and read the synopsis. There are two versions of the movie. I saw the 1959 version and it was good. The first came out in 1934, I think.
The only movie that comes to mind is "Imitation of Life" (1959) starring Lana Turner.
"Aspiring actress Lora Meredith (Lana Turner) meets Annie Johnson (Juanita Moore) a homeless black woman at Coney Island and soon they share a tiny apartment. Each woman has an intolerable daughter, though Annie's little girl Sarah Jane (Karen Dicker and, later, Susan Kohner), is by far the worse. Neurotic and obnoxious, Sarah Jane doesn't like being black; since she's light-skinned (her father was practically white), she spends the rest of the film passing as white, much to her mother's heartache and shame. Lora, meanwhile, virtually ignores her own daughter (Terry Burnham and then Sandra Dee) in a single-minded quest for stardom. Legendary movie director Douglas Sirk's last American film."
Lana turner lead actress it called imitation of life 1959 also starring Juanita Moore, Sandra Dee, Susan Kohner, John Gavin.
Synopsis: Struggling actress Lora Meredith (Lana Turner), an attractive widow with a young daughter, Susie (Sandra Dee), wants to "go up and up and up", but doesn't realize the trials and challenges awaiting her when she gets there. Lora befriends a black woman, Annie Johnson (Juanita Moore), also a single mother with a daughter, Sarah Jane (Susan Kohner) about the same age as Susie. The two determined mothers join forces while living in Lora’s cramped New York apartment. Annie takes care of both girls and acts as Lora’s maid, so that Lora can pursue her dream of having a Broadway stage career. Over time they become a racially mixed imitation family facing challenges beyond their expectations.
