For the Love of Dorothy Dandridge

Thank you

Just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for following my homage to my idol, Ms. Dorothy Jean Dandridge. Unfortunately I’m unable to follow anyone from this page, but I will definitely follow everyone back from my personal tumblr.

I’m gearing up for another intense semester of graduate school, so I apologize if I don’t update frequently. Please feel free to submit photos, videos, info, etc through the submit button on my page.

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.
