Dorothy DandridgeHolloway House Publishing, 1997 - 238 sidor In 1955 the beautiful Dorothy Dandridge became the first ever African American to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Performance. In show business since the age of three years, she became Hollywood's first major black female star with the 1954 release of Carmen Jones in which she co-starred with Harry Belafonte. Other major roles were to follow, but her downfall was her terrible taste in men. She married two of them, both treated her badly, the last leaving her nearly bankrupt. Then tragedy struck in the form of her mysterious death which still puzzles many. |
