    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.

      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.

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.

      ⁠@@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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    Her story is both sad and tragic. When was found dead at her residence, it was also discovered that she only had $5 in her bank account. I mean movie director Otto Preminger kept her as a mistress -- he had no plan to leave his wife -- he could at least financially supported her. After all, he was getting free sex!
