Actress Spotlight

Dorthy Dandridge was a talented actress and vocalist whose career ended to soon. I was first brought to light about this talented actress when I saw the 1999 movie, "Introducing Dorthy Dandridge". Actress Halle Berry does her life story justice in the supporting role. I was drawn to Ms. Dandridge's style,perfection and grace as a performer. She had aspirations to succeed on her own, with a ammo to break down the barriers that were placed because of the color of her skin. Some of Dandridge's earlier work was "Tarzan's Peril","The Harlem Globetrotters" and "Bright Road".Roles that made her a star; "Carmen Jones","Tamango" and "Porgy and Bess". That is why I chose Dorthy Danridge as the highlighted actress of the week
