- Lena Horne Died 14 Years Ago, Now Her Daughter CONFIRMS The Rumors...
Lena divulged to Ebony that her parents separated when she was 3. Teddy simply wasn't ready for marital bliss. In fact, as detailed in "Stormy Weather," he faked sickness to convince his wife he had to travel west. Edna let him go but later told her daughter that he "was too young, too handsome, and too spoiled by the ladies to be ready for marriage." After Teddy disappeared, Edna left soon after, as her dreams of A-list success preceded her desire to be a mother.

Lena Horne was a beautiful woman. She had a heart of Gold it's obvious she respected herself and her black sisters and brothers and due to the fact she didn't want to to play roles that dissected blacks in the wrong way says enough!!! Rip Lena and thank you for paving the way for the future 🙏 ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen.
She supposedly had an affair with Jackie Robinson, a married man! Respect for women? How about respect for other women 's marriages?
👴🏻🥃 AWW SHUT UP.
@abetteryounow6484, perhaps you should keep in mind the old saying or adage of "it takes two to tango" in the heat of the moment. Regardless of both status of being single or married in the process.
@sybilwhite1259, people tend to lose sight on the fact that the late Ms. Lena Horne was an activist behind the scenes in the entertainment industry as well.
Your caption is misleading..
her daughter is not speaking
and your quotes of her are
minimal at best..get real !!
Right
Thanks, your comment prevented me from wasting my time watching
@@quaithom3138 seems to happen a lot with black artists bios done by non-black yt'rs
I saw the show on Broadway. She told the story herself and we all were lifted by her strength and refusal to give up. “ Get out there and get yourself some live!”, ”ll never forget.
I was so captivated by Ms. Horne's Broadway show, I saw it three times before it closed.
Ms. Lena was a class act...❤
Not Web DuBois but W.E.B DuBois, there is a . behind every letter….DAMN!
Disrespectful.. you'd think they'd at least take time to research nd be accurate
This, here.
Calm Down It’s an A.I. Speaking.
Who's not calm? Accuracy is what is being pointed out here and this project is rife with inaccuracies, that's why AI must be regulated and refined. Till then, viewers beware! @@CathyLTate
Thank you! I was about to say the same thing “ web” 🙄
The hate is real, stay strong my black people ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lena’s grandmother was white
Yes, the hate and also jealousy by non-blacks is is extremely real. I am sitting in a coffee place now and nothing but Mexicans. Whites, Asians are working here and buying coffee in a country not built by them but by blacks and this was orchestrated by the whites on purpose. However, these are the very last days of this world where all evil will be destroyed and great great vengeance will be done, but these non-blacks are not expecting it....the jokes on them.
@@msrenee7023 And that didn't make her any less Black.
And SHE identified as the Black woman she was.
Being of mixed heritage doesn't discount someone's experience and culture. Lena Horne was Black. End of.
🙄
@@ALNizhoni So having white grandparents MADE HER BONA FIDE AFRICAN OR BLACK?? This statement needs to be looked at. Having European DNA CHANGES EVERYTHING
Why are the clips of other women that are not Lena?
Right ,confusing???
Showing the actress w blonde hair (who I think in some shots is Lana turner) while talking about Lena passing implies Lena dyed her hair and is that blonde woman shown.
Lena Horne has a distinct nose. The blonde women .. did not.
Was this done by AI? A real person would’ve known it is W.E.B. Du Bois not Web Du Bois. Plus, there so many scenes of women, not Lena Horne, like Lana Turner for example.
@@monicahaynes8033 Right. Even if was an AI search, a person must review. Some people do not care about accuracy. I found a picture of a close friend of mine that is a singer. His name is the same of person who died that was also in the industry. I called my friend to make sure. I contacted the person that made the article. They refused to remove or change the picture. I found other videos with wrong pictures to the stories.
@@jennacornwall5243 I think the blonde is Lana Turner too as I've seen many of her movies. At least 3 other actresses are portrayed as her & why in the hell are they showing clips from the Cosby show?Smh
Whyte folks do that!
Lena, as a teen, lived for a time in Pittsburgh with her father who owned a hotel.
Liz Taylor said that Lena Horne was the most beautiful woman at MGM.
An astounding comment and compli ment coming from someone who was gorgeous too.
lol nobody cares what Liz said, Liz was beyond beautiful. Even as a child the producer told her dad ''she has the part but don't put mascara on her we do that here at the studio'' her father replied she's not wearing mascara.
I’ll agree wit Ms. Taylor.
@yvonneplant9434! I have to say the late Ms. Elizabeth Taylor is the only person I know of (male/female) who had "violet" colored eyes to enhancing her beauty during the course of her lifetime.
Why All the pics with Lana turner? Confusion!!!!
Alicia Keys should play her in a biopic.
I totally agree!
Only problem is Alicia can’t act for ish…
She was Beautiful. PERIOD
RIP beautiful Lady..🕊
If I remember correctly, the custom make~up was for the movie role of Cleopatra, which Lena was told she had the part. To her disappointment the role was given to Elizabeth Taylor who used Lena’s make up to darken her skin
What’s wonderful, is that they thought Lena was the color of “Egyptians”😂
right, exactly, what the Egyptians are trying to distance from today
The makeup shade was called "Light Egyptian".
Actually, Dorothy Dandridge was who they had in mind & they gave it to Elizabeth Taylor.
@@Sapphire586NO ONE but big ticket Taylor was ever considered for that role.
Cleo film was decades later,
And was always a vehicle for Taylor. Period. Egyptians come in many colors.
THE Cleopatra (there were 7) was a Macedonian Greek. Not Black
It appears that both Lena's mother and father had some white as well as native American ancestry. It has been written that she was a descendant of senator John C. Calhoun and so she was of a prominent black social class and enjoyed a certain level of privilege despite the challenges she faced in a segregated time period. Her family was splintered but she was raised by loving grandparents who were themselves very politically active and progressive. This early exposure helped form Lena's views and she carried these experiences with her throughout her life. To be fair, she was resented by other people of color who felt she did not completely represent them in both appearance or class and because she, in their view was given special treatment. Maybe this was true, but she certainly was a beautiful, talented lady who worked hard and became an iconic figure in the entertainment world.
sounds like a former president.
In Amerikkka, there was no “black social class” that white folks were going to respect, if you’re black, you’re in.
Black
Oddly, 1.55 seconds into this, they showed Nancy Wilson's (scene from the Bill Cosby show) as though it was Ms. Horne. I'm fortunate and grateful that I was at the dedication of the Lena Horne Theatre on Broadway in NYC on Nov.22.
Also, at the opening for her show The Lady and Her Music, 1981 at the Nederlander Theatre. A pioneer, for sure.
She deserves it.
If you are going to do videos like this make sure you show images of the correct person. All the clips from the Cosby show was not Lena
I was thinking the same thing!!! So annoying they don’t know the difference between Lena and Nancy🤦🏾♀️
Why are half the pictures and film footage that of Lana Turner. What an insult. The pronunciation is LU-MET as in the great Director Sidney Lumet Gail's husband.
They sure as hell didn't know what they were doing!!!!!!😬😬
And a few of Ann Southern
I love ladies of Hollywood during those times, such class.
I really need y’all to NOT include clips of Nancy Wilson on The Cosby Show as Lena Horne in a Lena Horne A.I. authored bio. You messin with history here
Yes. That is the scary intent of AI. Rewriting and retelling history.
This country has a lot to be ashamed of for treating humans worse than they treated their animals just because they were of a different race. Sad.
Having read about Three Bios on Lena....the lady had a LOT of Systemic and Institutional Racism to deal with, Hollywood and the whole USA. Adding to the mix was the Patriarchy and Sexism of the time. It's a wonder she didnt go completely crazy. She managed her emotions the best she could !
Why all the the jarring images of Lana Turner..?. While they both worked at MGM, their paths rarely crossed. Ava and Lena were good friends.
I enjoyed watching this because I learned more things about her than I already knew, but I'm wondering why half of what was shown were white people in movies she wasn't even a part of.
This seems like an AI generated video.
@@GirlysamuraiesqHmmm... I wouldn't have thought about that, but it's possible.
I can’t imagine a mother being so horrid to her daughter. Lena’s mother .
😮
Unfortunately there are a lot of toxic mothers. I have a coworker whose grandmother who always told her she ‘doesn’t like girls or women’ was very emotionally detached and unavailable. Mistreated girls and women in the family while coddling and giving love to boys and men in the family, even the criminals. They always had a place at the table when they got out of prison. Females getting pregnant meant being kicked out into the streets. smdh.
And she looked a messsssss!
Do one on Louis Armstrong!
That was Nancy Wilson on the Cosby show, not Lena Horne lol
There is something super powerful in being black because why do these people hate us so much people don't hate on bad things only things that are they envy n know that is better than them
Yep, crows pick at the best fruit
Blacks are not better than anyone.
Average old Hollywood star?. Very DISRESPECTFUL TO CALL HER THAT. MS. HORNE WAS A BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, LEGENDARY ICON.
Great post, buy why are there clips of Nancy Wilson on the Cosby show?
Thank you
Nancy Wilson would be amused, she always said Lena's elegance inspired her stage presence ❤
And clips of Billie Holiday and the white actress….
REST IN POWER LENA HORNE 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us❤❤❤❤. 🗣. 📢. may you. R.I.P🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
No mentioning on her daughter
Why are you showing clips of Lana Turner on a documentary about Lena Horne?
@sharonone...I agreed I thought the samething,!
This is why and how Women's Liberation was born.
Blame the men.
R.I.P. Lena Horne
❤💜💜💜❤💛💚💛💚
Not all men. Look who the love of her life was. I loved and respected her from the moment we met. And I am a MAN.
@@duanejohnson2149 I would love to meet men like you more often.
They say you attract what you are, why I try to be the best version of myself.
Then... there are tricksters, liars and thieves who talk a great game, make fake promises like tRump, maga, atheist, non believers of The Most High or anything spiritual.
🙏 ✝️
Then there are those who believe them.
Have a great day. ❤
??? Why the thr racist ⚪️’’s
*W. E. B. DuBois", NOT "Web" DuBois - **12:17** - William Edward Burghardt*
"Web" Dubois? W. E. B. Dubois!
Why would anyone be around SICK Hollywood
For the♥of 🤑💰!!!!!!
Why did you keep showing all these random Anglo-Saxons, who had nothing to do with this video. There are plenty clips of all the Melanated people that she actually knew, gor you to show. AI racism already?
This is what happens when you have a colonizer, tell the story of your people!!!
A few years ago while working on my family tree, I found out that Lena Horne was my distant relative.
The name is W E B not pronounced like spiderweb , why all the clips of white stars not cool
I know isn’t this the dumbest of things to do.
This is AI generated video and it pulled videos from anything that looked like Lena Horne …it’s learning from these comments.
What a Classy woman.
Are these videos read and produced using AI? The mispronunciation of some well known names, and the clips of White actors that are clearly not Lena Horne is baffling otherwise. 🤔
Why is Lana Turner featured so much?
Okay RAISE YOUR ✋🏽✋🏽🙋🏽♀️ if YOU SEE A BIOPIC of The INCOMPARABLE Ms Lena portrayed by ALICIA KEYS( with some Remedial Voice Lessons ofc🤷🏽♀️🙂🙂).
Why are there so many clips with Lana Turner and some other lady?
There were @least 3 different white actresses & 2 black ones, including Nancy Wilson.
Why are you showing Nancy wilson in Bill Cosbys show
Initially, I, assumed that this was an African American channel until I heard “Web” instead of “W.E.B.” If I pull back the curtain, there'll be plenty of surprises, including an AI voice!
Great Lady and a Brave One
I can honestly say that for me and my family Lena horn surpassed colour, I grew up in the 50s and 60s in England and nobody I knew mentioned her colour only that she was wonderful to watch
Who’s the blonde woman, why they keep showing her!,,,
i was saying the same thing! 🙄
Lana Turner...but what she has to do with Lena's story remains a mystery. They both worked at MGM but their paths rarely crossed. Ava Gardner and Lena were close friends.
Lena Horne was proud to be black
The fact that they're portraying these white actresses (although I did count 2 -perhaps 3 black ones) as her definitely reinforces the point she was making about old Hollywood although modern-day Hollywood isn't much better.
That's not her son pictured at 13.07 ....
Who are all the other people in this video. They have noting to do with the story. It's as if you didn't or couldn't find enough footage and pictures of Lena Horne, so you threw in all these other people. It was very annoying to watch. Thumbs down.
Excellent Content recalling a LEGEND 🫶🏾🫶
Interesting fact: Lena Horne publicly said she wanted her granddaughters to only marry Jewish men. I heard her say it with my own ears. Back then I was shocked! I'm no longer shocked by what anyone says or does.
I know this video has nothing to do with Diana Ross but that is where I first learned of Miss Lena Horne when she did an amazing role in The Wiz. The songs she sang "Home," and "Believe In Yourself," wow. As did Miss Ross in Lady Sing's The Blues open up new doors for new fans to discover Miss Billie Holiday; and early in Ross' career she featured Miss Ethel Waters sang a duet with her on a TV show. This is what stars of today are lacking ... Their history makers. Wait, Miley Cyrus did have Dolly Parton on her New Years Special. Love you Lena !
WHY are there snippets of Lana Turner movies throughout this video? Did some robot confuse LANA Turner with LENA Horne? It makes NO sense.
It’s N double A C P 🤦🏾.
My older family members went to see her on Broadway..in the 80s..
My mother was in NYC at Bendel's, she got into the elevator with one of the most beautiful women she had ever laid eyes on- Lena Horne...
How could you not be able to pronounce W.E.B. Dubois? Have you lived under a rock? 😮
I don't think I will be looking at anything from spill. Why on earth are you using pics of Lana Turner, and some other white woman as Lena? Why were there pics of Billie, Phylicia and Nancy Wilson from Cosby being shown?
yo, content creators - you cannot let AI pull all you footage and not check it. The name of the blonde actress who shows up over and over again (i'm assuming as Lena) is a foible that can't be ignored. I mean - Cecily Tyson appeared (not talked about) and various other random NOT Lena Horne related video clips. I undersstand that we have the wonderful content filler that can be provided by AI - but CREATORS MUST curate at a minimum. If it's wrong, it's wrong. If it's wrong and you don't recognize that it's wrong - guess what!!? This probably isn't the topic that you should be reporting on. I'm going to give this a 6/10. WAY too many mistakes visually. Not to mention the bot calling W. E. B. Dubois "Web". edit your content. review it. If you don't care enough about your viewers to ensure that you are posting HIGH quality content (aided by AI or not - AI is good, it's not perfect) Then ultimately your credibility suffers and people will no longer come to see your videos - despite catchy headlines and thumbnails. This is basic quality control. Run your business with excellence. There is enough junk and spam out there. Earn your views - don't play your audience cheap. We're not stupid.
Umm you keep showing a white actress who have nothing to do with our Leana! I mean their connection doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the narrative. You keep talking about her great life’s work fighting for racial justice and then there are these clips of Anglo American actors who are pretty but seem to be there to capture our attention. I don’t understand. Or maybe I do…

AI...
Did not pronounce "W.E.B." but said "Web".
Glad you made the comment. I was going to. 👍
W.E.B Dubois not WEB and this video title is misleading.
Poor Lena couldn't catch a dam 💔
*INCORRECT*
1:54 This is Nancy Wilson not Lena Horne
⬛ 3:10 also Nancy Wilson not Lena Horne
Lana aturner is not Lena Horne
YT Content Creatore need to stop being monetized for doing inaccurate Black History
Given the plot of Showboat, she could never have played Julie, because the audience has to be fully convinced that she spent a lifetime passing for being white.
Why do they keep showing more clips of Lana Turner in this than Lena?
You're gonna give back what you stole from me too or go to jail.
Why are they intertwining Lana Turner in this bio?
She never duck from her peolpe.😅
W.E.B. Dubois not web!
She Cant Even Be Potraided As Her Self. Such An Elegant Woman, Who Photographed Great! I Guess Production Needed Betty Grabel To Fill In.
Lena horn was a trailblazer she help lay the foundation hollywood didn't no what to do with a beautiful black women like her can you imagine her playing a maid and wife comes home and see her no women in her right mind would want her around there husband she would be out door as fast as you could blink your eye thank you ms horn ❤. 14:36
Women were good-looking. Beautiful!
"Is this little lame Lamont"? Sanford and Son
What gets me about the NAACP back in the segregation era. There were a few black film directors in Hollywood. One of the black film 📽️ directors was Spencer Williams. Spencer Williams plays Andy Brown on the TV show "Amos And Andy". The NAACP were also the one's who shut down the Amos And Andy Show. Back then the NAACP tried to speak for all black people but they really wasn't helping the black people in the black community, they only showed up after the fact. The NAACP should have helped black Hollywood industry back then but they only helped their name back then. Ask Claudette Colvin because she actually was the 1st mother of the Alabama bus boycott who refused to give up her seat on the bus to a yt person and went to jail. And the NAACP had refused to help her because she was a teenage pregnant woman at the time. My said that when she was a kid that they had their own movie theater's that had all black movies. I sometimes watch a lot of Spencer Williams movies and one of my favorites are "Boarding House Blues" with Mom's Mabley in it and "Dirty Gerty". Now I'm beginning to think that a lot of black people back in the segregation era would rather be accepted by Yt people in Hollywood than doing business with their own people, especially when it comes to being a celebrity.😢
Look at who started NAACP....Ashkenazi jews. Pretending to be on our side, while hating our guts.
That is correct and their were few other that didn't fit the model they wanted to be the first in their test case. They wanted a certain narrative and personal background, right temperament and they found it.
According to my grandfather that was born in like 1915 or 1916, he said that the NAACP was not for all Black people. He said that they had to have a “certain look” and/or background for them to accept you. They put up a front like they was for all black people but really wasn’t.
Not my words, just words from a man living during those times.
@@wisdomvsknowledge7662 your grandfather was correct 💯. The NAACP were a joke to poor people 4real back then unless you had wealth.
It's still like that today they want to be accepted so they do the rituals
They need Alicia 2 portray her in a biopic
Is this what they call trolling? Interesting how these type of videos always display OUR stories.
It is such a damn shame that some people believe in burning his or her body like trash.
Her family was upset and wouldn't talk to her because she married a white man. So... racism goes both ways. Funny thing is, I didn't know she was black. I thought she was Cuban or South American.
You need to understand that being Cuban and South American is not a race it's a nationality. Her race is black. There are black Cubans and there are White Cubans so she could only be Cuban if she was born there. Then she would be a black Cuban. She was born in America so she was a black American. Educate yourself on the difference between race and nationality.🤔
What’s w adding images into the video that have nothing to do w Miss Lena Horne?
So how many LANA TURNER and ANN SOUTHERN had to be included here? For what purpose?
What did she have to do with Libby Holman? (7:08)
Never knew she had kids😮
Gail Was once married to director Sidney Lumet & they had two daughters together & I believe his son had a daughter (named after her) & maybe a son.
Until we each other as not color but a amazing creation; no chance have we got to clean the mean.
We, well most are soaked in wrong; there truly Needs to be a CLEAN, yet of mind and heart, else no change.
She was a beautiful woman
Why in this documentary about Lena Horne so many ongoing clips some white actress with child constantly! Irritating to say the Least !!!! And redundant !!!!!
I swear Alicia Keys resembles her so much!!
I I followed Lena and LOVED her..she said she married her white husband for protection but this did not mention her son who died from kidney disease
Why do you keep showing Lana Turner? Why is that random Black man's photo shown when you mention her son? Smh
Anyone know what part of the South her ancestors were from?
You keep showing another female actress as if she’s Lena Horn? I can’t think of her name now but that’s not Lena, it’s kind of aggravating….
Wow...
What’s up with the blond? For that you get a 👎🏽
R.I .P.❤😮😢😂😅🎉❤.
