Good morning my friend Dorothy was great in this era to Today's music 🎶🎵 is like garbage 🗑️ to RIP Dorothy I still listening to this music in Oct of 2024 to
She just puts you in this peaceful trance. When you see her perform, she’s really amazing. I only wish she could’ve lived long enough to see the impact she made on the industry and what she did for women, especially women of color, who wanted to achieve in spite of the obstacles of that era, she’s one of the greatest talents of classic Hollywood. I will never forget her.
undervalued? Here is a partial list of her 1st, where she made history, She was the first African American actor to be Nominated for an Oscar in a Leading Actor or Actress category, To walk the red carpet and be an Oscar Presenter, the same year she was nominated, [she was a presenter again in 1957] To grace the cover of Life Magazine, To appear at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and sign a three-year contract with a major studio, 20 Century Fox on February 15th 1955 for star roles only. Today she has a star on Hollywood Blvd. and a statue at Hollywood Gateway in Hollywood.
From her early 1940s musical short film "soundies" to the end, she had a singular balletic grace and seemingly easy deft, originally artistically expressive movement. This performance and her look are perfection.
@@dddddadadad1796 Correct. This is verified in literally all biographies about Dandridge, including historian Donald Bogle's exhaustive biography. Ironically it was with nightclub performances in particular (such as dramatized in this excerpt from a 1953 film) that Dandridge suffered from agonizing, crippling stage fright. That she had to return to nightclub appearances as her film career sadly stalled was a source of great stress.
It's a funny business to go into for people who are painfully self doubting and lacking a healthy core of confidence. Performing would be the last thing I would choose.
@@nocount1 I suppose it can happen. Marilyn Monroe's another example. She had enormous self-doubt because her instincts told her she wasn't so good. But Dorothy was terrific.
And it’s the men who are pushing those types. As a man you should address them and fix ur community the way other MEN fix theirs. Also the male entertainers of today are no Nat King Cole’s 😊
So why didn't they let this incredible singer sing for herself in CARMEN JONES the movie? I think her jazzy, throaty approach to the Bizet could have given the movie a shot in the arm.
That was a pretty woman . Her singing for that time period was ok she to me was more of a show girl that could sing a little act very well a well rounded nightclub performer I like her . Sorry her life was so rough . It’s hard to be beautiful in those days and these days also .
This is from the 1953 film "REMAINS to be Seen" where she played herself. It was shot in a studio and the audience was made up of actors, including the two stars of the movie, Van Jonson and June Allyson. Curd Jürgens was not in the cast. They probably didn't know each other in 1953. They co-starred in one movie in1958 Tamango. At that time, he was married to Simone Bicheron and she was preparing to marry her 2nd husband Jack Denison.
The reason these two come up so much is because they were discovered about the same tome. Norma Jean copied DD look and persona amongst other things. Not in a bad way...she looked up to DD. @@PhilAlumb
@@DeepScreenAnalysis I think people know that , the problem isn’t with Marilyn really . It’s the fact she kinda stole this women’s aesthetic and got more recognition for it . Because she was white .

Boring take. She deserves to be taken for herself in all her particularities, not for what she did for her *race,* for God's sake.
Such a beautiful and very talented lady, sadly very undervalued, R. I. P you'll be a megastar always
Because she was Black. It's ok you can say it. It's the truth.

This is why she’s one of my beauty icons.
She is a goddess! Dorothy je t'aime!
She popped out of the curtain, so full of confidence. She knew her audience was in for a treat, and she was right.
That is what you call an act. Bc Dorothy Dandridge had little
To no self confidence

I know this song because Kirstie Alley sung it, but I like the original version best!
So classy back then, now all we have is Sexyy Red and Glorilla 😢
take your culture back from the bazaars. just do it.

A doll.

I read something about that online. Google it.
Hermosa mujer talentosa ,gran actriz y cantante .Triste final😢
Here it is folks, a natural beauty. No plastic surgery.
How can she breathe in that gown, much less sing?! Wow!
That was a pretty woman . Her singing for that time period was ok she to me was more of a show girl that could sing a little act very well a well rounded nightclub performer I like her . Sorry her life was so rough . It’s hard to be beautiful in those days and these days also .
Is she colored? That’s wonderful!
WHAT? This is 2024. People don't use the word "colored" anymore.
She is black or African-American...
The intro reminds me of "Destination Moon."
Great band, who is it?
Dorothy Dandridge was so much hotter than Marilyn Monroe. Crazy hot and beautiful woman.
Idole
Miss Marilyn Hutton quiz show jobs on youtube -_- by-
Dorothy Dandridge did you see it in your VISION?
It’s too bad she ended up getting hooked we lost her much too early
It's too bad that this is what you choose to focus on.
Hooked on what? Hush bc you sound idiotic
I see lover Curd Jürgens in the audience!
Large curd or small curd?
This is from the 1953 film "REMAINS to be Seen" where she played herself.

@@harpereion8702 Except you can see Jürgens in the audience.
@@Gennettor-nc8kx Nobody noticed my joke about cottage cheese, which comes in small or large curd. Actor's name is Curt Jurgens.
@@akrenwinkle I noticed it but didn't react as I don’t find it overly funny. And his name WAS Curd, not Curt. Look it up.
Eat your heart out Norma Jean
😆😂🤣....No.
The reason these two come up so much is because they were discovered about the same tome. Norma Jean copied DD look and persona amongst other things. Not in a bad way...she looked up to DD.
@@PhilAlumb
I’m screaming 😂
Dorothy and Marilyn were friends. Pathetic the way people try to put down Marilyn, Dorothy would tell you to grow up.
