Description
Dorothy Dandridge was both goddess and trailblazer - - Magical in a nightclub, on television or in film - - Mysterious away from the lights, camera and action. Here is the Dorothy you haven't been introduced to - - a close-up look at her triumphant and tragic life.
Obba Babatunde, the man who played Harold Nicholas in "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," hosts this one-hour program.
Interviews with *Halle Berry, *Brock Peters, *Fayard Nicholas, *Joe Adams, * Jasmine Guy, *Laurence Fishburne, and others, as well as unseen, rare footage and photographs help explain Dorothy Dandrige as never before.
Her personal life was full of torment and tragedy, yet fueled by her charisma, talent and strong will, Dorothy became Hollywood's first full-fledged black female movie star.
Born into a racist, sexist world, Dorothy Dandridge rose above its restrictions to become a cultural icon and set a new standard for American Beauty.

Great Movie
I love this movie! Halle Berry was the perfect person to play this role. Dorothy Dandridge made one too many wrong decisions in her life, but she will always be an icon and a very courageous, talented and sexy black woman for breaking barriers in the world of Hollywood.
WELL APPRECIATED!!!!!!!
If you can appreciate and love Dorothy Dandridge for the icon she is, you will definitely love this product. It is a well put together biography with many important people featured in it to vouch for my review. Her beauty, pain, and success are all captured in 60 mins. of this pure entertaining saga. ENJOY!
An Original American Beauty
This is a wonderful dvd to add to your collection. It's basically a 1 hr documentary on the life and career of the 1st African American woman to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. If you have an attention span comprable to a fish, don't buy it, but if you're genuinely interested in learning about an exeptional trailblazer (in her own right), this is the dvd to purchase. Respect is finally being rightfully given to this amazing woman, and she definitely deserved it.
Yeah Right!
This absoluely is borrrrring! Ive never been so bored!. The interactive DVD menu is by far the highlight!. Skip this! BElieve ME!!!
