I often wonder what happened to Dorothy’s beautiful collection of performance gowns. I know that she gave some of her wardrobe to Ms. Billie Holiday, but she had so many gowns in her collection. I hope they’ve been preserved somewhere!

Dorothy Dandridge broke down racial barriers and set the path for black actresses. She became the first black female to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her role in Carmen Jones, and the first black woman to grace the cover of Life magazine. However, society was unable to fully appreciate Dorothy during her lifetime simply because of the color of her skin. A legend in every sense of the word, Dorothy Dandridge will forever remain the epitome of beauty and grace.
