Dorothy Dandridge was both goddess and trailblazer-magical in a nightclub, on television or in film -- Mysterious away from the lights, camera and action. Here is the Dorothy you haven't been introduced to. A close up look at her triumphant and tragic life. Obba Babatunde, the man who played Harold Nicholas in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, hosts this one hour program. Interviews with Halle Berry, Brock Peters, Fayard Nicholas, Joe Adams, Jasmine Guy, Laurence Fishburne and others, as well as unseen rare footage and photographs help explain Dorothy Dandridge as never before. Her personal life was full of torment and tragedy, yet fueled by her charisma, talent and strong will, Dorothy became Hollywood's first full-fledged black female movie star. Born into a racist, sexist world, Dorothy Dandridge rose above its restrictions to become a cultural icon and set a new standard for American Beauty. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
