For the Love of Dorothy Dandridge

Forget all the slutty Halloween costumes, I’d much rather dress up as Dorothy!

I will be Dorothy Dandridge as Carmen Jones!

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.
