For the Love of Dorothy Dandridge

For her role as Bess in Porgy and Bess, Dorothy insisted that she not wear any makeup, and of course she got her wish. And of course her wish was granted because Dorothy was a natural beauty and didn’t need the aid of makeup.

Dorothy Dandridge broke down racial barriers and set the path for black actresses. She become the first black female to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her role in Carmen Jones. Hollywood couldn’t appreciate Ms. Dandridge simply because she was black. She will always be a legend in my eyes. The epitome of grace, class, beauty, and sophistication.
