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.

Dandridge's career was cut short by her untimely death in 1965. She was just 42 years old. But her legacy lives on. She was a pioneer for African American actresses, and her work continues to inspire and entertain audiences today.

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.

Bogle's book is a must-read for anyone interested in Dorothy Dandridge, Hollywood history, or African American culture. It is a powerful and moving story of a trailblazing woman who overcame adversity to achieve her dreams.
