Dorothy Dandridge was a groundbreaking actress, singer, and dancer who broke barriers and left an enduring legacy in Hollywood. She was the first African American woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, and her performance in the film Carmen Jones (1954) is still considered one of the greatest musical performances of all time.
Dandridge's life was both glamorous and tragic. She was born into poverty in Cleveland, Ohio, and her early life was marked by abuse and neglect. But she had a talent for singing and dancing, and she eventually found her way to Hollywood. In the 1940s and 1950s, she starred in a number of films, including Bright Road (1953),Porgy and Bess (1959),and Carmen Jones.

In this definitive biography, Donald Bogle tells the full story of Dorothy Dandridge's extraordinary life and career. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with Dandridge's family, friends, and colleagues, Bogle paints a vivid portrait of a complex and fascinating woman.
