Dorothy Dandridge was a beautifully talented actress and singer although never fully taken seriously or given the due that she truely deserved. Dorothy's entire being dripped with glamour, sex appeal and charisma nothing short of bombshell at a time when Hollywood pin-ups were supposed to be white. Frankly the film industry hadnt the slightest idea what to do with her, her nightclub act was polished and deffinately before its time the south was not ready for such a gem as a black performer she wasn't allowed to stay in many of the hotels or even use the pools, in fact one incident highlights this very fact depicting the janitors of a hotel cleaning a pool in which dorothy had swam in. This film truly depicts the Dandridge that is remembered, Dorothy at her highest heights but also gives us a glimpse of her lowest of lows, dealing with racism, sexism and attempting to become an actress that all will know for all time. The fabulous Halle Berry slips on Ms. Dandridges shoes and truly becomes the iconic actress. The dvd features actor bios but that is it, although it would be nice to have much more honoring this beautiful history making actress it is great to just be able to own it. Dorothy Dandridge became the 1st African-American woman to be honored with an Academy award nomination as Best Actress for her knockout performance in 1954's Otto Preminger directed,Carmen Jones although she lost the award to Grace Kelly Carmen Jones is Dandridges most well known and beloved film. Although Ms Dandridge died of an overdose of pills in 1965 her legacy shall not be forgotten and this film shows why it cant be forgotten. Dorothy is truly unsung and hopefully this film will shine a light to her struggles and educate those of this beautiful songbirds potential and the achievements that many have yet to learn.With a stunning supporting cast Loretta Devine,Brent Spiner, Obba Babatunde, and Klaus Maria Brandauer, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge is fabulous and lets the true story of a woman many don't know shine through.This is deffinately a film the whole family should see. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars THE REALITY OF HOW PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE REALLY TREATED AND GO THROUGH *by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023* Excellent movie, all Dorothy (Halle) wanted was love and Otto broke her heart. The second husband was a wreak and a con man. Earl her manager loved Dorothy [Halle]. He always looked out for Dorothy. But still life was difficult for her although she was successful in one sense, and deservingf of much more in another. Good movie and strong characters. For centuries many people have suffered and still suffering. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17921492-introducing-dorothy-dandridge-rpkg-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17921492-introducing-dorothy-dandridge-rpkg-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
