Author: carmenjones411 from United States

i don't understand how can someone who has led the life that dorothy dandridge has could inspire such bland tributes, the two bio's written about her were awful and don't get me started on the awful movie about her that starred an inept halle berry giving a bloodless performance, now we have a tribute documentary that is just as boring and dull, it's a curiosity piece that is only important because it contains several of her musical shorts shown in clips of course and also it has footage of the historical night at the Oscars, but other than that i'd say this should be passed over because it offers no new interviews, or any other information that isn't already known, here's hoping that a new documentary, film and book come around to do justice to this beautiful talented star known as miss dorothy dandridge.
