- Cuộc đời của ngôi sao điện ảnh huyền thoại da màu Dorothy Dandridge .
- Giống như phần lớn ngôi sao điện ảnh thành công trong sự nghiệp, Dorothy Dandridge - ngôi sao điện ảnh người da màu nổi tiếng trong phim "Carmen Jones" (sản xuất năm 1954) - có một cuộc đời và sự nghiệp hết sức ngắn ngủi và bất hạnh. Dorothy bắt đầu sự nghiệp diễn viên còn nhỏ và lớn lên đã sớm trở thành ngôi sao tiếng tăm trong thánh địa điện ảnh Holly-wood. ... Song bên cạnh những bất hạnh trong cuộc sống riêng tư, Dorothy lại đạt được một thành công lịch sử trong sự nghiệp ngắn ngủi của mình - đó là trở thành diễn viên người Mỹ gốc Phi đầu tiên được đề cử giải Oscar cho diễn viên xuất sắc nhất trong phim "Carmen Jones". ...
- Gần đây, các đạo diễn điện ảnh của Hollywood đã quyết định đưa câu chuyện về cuộc đời và sự nghiệp của Dorothy Dandridge lên màn ảnh. Cô Halle Bery, một diễn viên đang lên người da đen 33 tuổi, đã được lựa chọn vào vai Dorothy trong bộ phim "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge". Berry cho biết cô đã yêu mến hình ảnh của Dorothy Dandridge khi còn là một đứa trẻ và quyết tâm theo nghề diễn viên để được giống như thần tượng của mình. Mặc dù sự nghiệp điện ảnh của Dorothy Dandridge rất ngắn ngủi nhưng cô sẽ không bao giờ bị chìm vào lãng quên. Ðược biết đã có hai cuốn tiểu sử về cuộc đời và sự nghiệp của Dorothy Dandridge được xuất bản và hiện nay Halle Berry đang chạy đua với Whitney Houston về việc mua lại bản quyền của một trong hai cuốn sách này. Giữa Halle Berry và Dorothy Dandridge có những điểm chung là cả hai đều được sinh ra tại bệnh viện Cleveland, họ cũng cùng tham gia vào cuộc đấu tranh để giành được một vị trí trong nền công nghiệp điện ảnh vốn vô cùng khe khắt với những ngôi sao da màu. Hơn thế, Berry còn cảm thấy rất thông cảm và gần gũi với Dorothy, đặc biệt là sau cuộc hôn nhân tan vỡ của cô với ngôi sao bóng chày David Justice. Cô đã bày tỏ sự cảm thông với Dorothy Dandridge khi nhập vai trong bộ phim về cuộc đời của ngôi sao bạc mệnh này: "Tôi đã hết sức vui sướng khi được nhận vai này. ... Thậm chí tôi đã không cần đọc kỹ kịch bản nữa bởi tôi hoàn toàn cảm nhận được tâm hồn và tình cảm của Dorothy cũng như những nỗi đau mà chị đã từng phải gánh chịu". ...
- Ðời sống riêng bất hạnh của Dorothy chiếm một mảng lớn trong bộ phim "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge". ... Với sắc đẹp và tài diễn xuất sống động của mình, Berry thể hiện khá rõ nét hình ảnh của một Dorothy Dandridge với sắc đẹp và tài năng đã đi vào huyền thoại. ...

- Dorothy Dandridge - The Wonder Child.
- Dorothy Dandridge was a beautiful, vivacious, and talented star whose life was a whirl of dizzying success and heartbreaking tragedy. ... But behind the scenes, Dorothy suffered through failed marriages and addictions to drugs and alcohol. ... Always searching for a peace that was just out of her reach, Dandridge would ultimately die at the age of 41, bankrupt and all but forgotten by her once adoring public.
- Dorothy Jean Dandridge entered the world on November 9, 1922 (some sources say 1923), in Cleveland, Ohio, the second of two girls born to Ruby, a comedienne-actress, and Cyril, a cabinet-maker who separated from his wife shortly before Dorothy's birth. A talented youngster, Dorothy's introduction to the world of performing came at the age of five when, along with her sister, Vivian, and accompanied by her mother and her mother's friend, Geneva Williams, she went on a book selling tour of Southern colleges for the National Baptist Publishing House of Nashville, Tennessee. Billed as "The Wonder Children," Dorothy and Vivian performed songs, dances, and acrobatics, and acted in skits written by their mother. During intermission, Dorothy and Vivian sold religious books to the audience. In a 1962 interview with Ebony magazine, Dorothy recalled: "After the show, I had to stand out front and shake hands with the people who lined up and asked questions like, 'How much older is your sister than you?' 'Do you prefer acting or singing or dancing?' 'Do you play with other children?'. ...
- Once there, The Wonder Children continued to perform for churches and benefits, and later, Dorothy and her sister joined with a third girl, Etta Jones, forming the singing group, "The Dandridge Sisters. ...
- In 1936, the Dandridge Sisters made their film debut in Paramount's The Big Broadcast of 1936, performing in a song-and-dance number with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. ...
- By 1940 the Dandridge Girls had broken up, but Dorothy continued to advance her solo career, appearing in a stage production, Meet the People, then in a low budget race film, Four Shall Die, and in a Christmas benefit with such notables as Bing Crosby and the King Cole Trio. ... " Her appearance in this sequence, which she shared with the tap dancing Nicholas Brothers, was noted by a number of critics, including the reviewer for the New York Daily News, who wrote that the dancers and Dorothy "put over a specialty act effectively. " Dorothy later appeared in Universal's Drums of the Congo (1942), Paramount's Alan Ladd starrer, Lucky Jordan (1942), and Hit Parade of 1943, a box office hit released by Republic Studios starring John Carroll, Susan Hayward, and Gail Patrick. Also during the early 1940s, Dorothy was featured in a number of "soundies" from the MGM Shorts Department.
- In 1942, Dorothy married Harold Nicholas, one-half of the Nicholas Brothers, whom she had first met during her engagement at the Cotton Club. The year after their marriage, Dorothy gave birth to her only child, Harolyn, but her happiness at her daughter's arrival was dimmed when it was determined that the infant was severely retarded. ... In 1962, Dandridge told Ebony magazine: "She doesn't even know that I am her mother. ...
10. Moondance: Song and Story: "Dorothy Dandridge : a Biography by Donald Bogle"
- www.moondance.org
- Before Halle Berry, Alfre Woodard, and Angela Bassett, there was Dorothy Dandridge, a remarkably talented actress/singer whose own life story may have paralleled, if not exceeded, many of the movies in which she starred in terms of drama and heartache. As a struggling black entertainer in a predominantly white world, shy Dorothy would be seen in her day as a pioneer, breaking color barriers in Vegas nightclubs and within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. ...
- Never heard of Dorothy Dandridge? What a shame, especially considering that her friend and colleague Marilyn Monroe, whose own life and death were very similar to that of "Dottie D's", is revered today as some ethereal glamour icon. Indeed, I have even heard Dandridge referred to as the "black Marilyn", bringing to mind exceptional beauty that masked years of career disappointment and failed romances. Reading Donald Bogle's detailed biography, simply titled Dorothy Dandridge, I know that nickname is false. Dorothy was not the "black" anybody, she was Dorothy Dandridge: unique and forever beautiful. ...
- Interviews with fellow actors, close friends and even people minutely involved in Dorothy's poverty-stricken Cleveland childhood provide the backbone for this enthusiastic and informative portrait. Bogle's story takes us through young Dorothy's first steps in show business with sister Vivian in a vaudevillian act called the Wonder Girls, which played to delighted black audiences packed in Baptist churches and other small venues. Pressed on by her starstruck yet cold mother, Ruby (an actress in her own right), the act moved to Hollywood and evolved into the singing Dandridge Sisters, securing chorus and bit parts in the rare all-black musicals (on stage and film) produced during the 1930s-1940s. ...
- seemed to take forever to come, and unlike Hollywood legends where fair-skinned damsels are catapulted into stardom after being discovered in drugstores, Dorothy had to literally sing for her supper, touring the U. ... and abroad with a nightclub act she sometimes felt was beneath her talents as a performer, most times singing in clubs and hotels that would not accept black guests, sometimes in clubs where Dorothy was not even allowed to visit the tables of those who had come to hear her sing, despite numerous requests to meet her. ...
- For her performance, Dorothy made history by becoming the first black actress to win an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. ... As Bogle reveals, even the glitter of Oscar gold could not change Dorothy's skin color; pitting a black love interest with an A-list white actor in the 1950s was a risky venture, too risky for film companies who wanted their products to turn profits, particularly in the southern United States. By no fault of her own, Dorothy could only watch helplessly as her career, probably the only true constant in her life, slowly declined. ...
- If you have heard of Dorothy Dandridge and are familiar with her as an entertainer, your perception will be enriched by the portrait of the personal Dorothy that Bogle offers. If it were not enough that Dorothy had to struggle to maintain a career, there was also the heartbreak of two failed marriages, dalliances with a variety of male entertainers, black and white, (some of whom would not be seen in public with her lest their own careers be threatened), and her difficult relationships with her mother and daughter. ...

- Introducing Dorothy Dandridge/B,B.
- Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, from a biography by Earl Mills, may not avoid those typical pitfalls, but it does have Halle Berry in as an amazing force in the title role. ...
- " Dorothy starts out as part of girl singing act and winds up in the arms of big time black dancer, Harold Nicholas, played with lots of enthusiasm by Obba Babbtunde. Propelling Dorothy into the spotlight, the initial charm of Nicholas's courtship turns into a marriage with tragedy at its heart. ... But Dorothy moves on. ...
- Living in Hollywood, Dorothy gets a few shots in minor movies, but her career turns around with the introduction of agent/mentor Earl Mills. Mills, as played by Star Trek: Next Generation mainstay Brent Spiner, is a rather boring guy, and he has a big part in this Dorothy Dandridge story since it is based on his biography of the actress. Mills gets Dorothy a shot at the starring role in Otto Preminger's all black Hollywood musical, Carmen Jones. Dorothy sells herself for the role so well that she captures the heart of director Preminger as well. Their romantic liaison forms one the pillars of this Dandridge story, but it never ignites the fire needed. ... Rebounding from Preminger, Dorothy scrapes the bottom of the romantic barrel in her marriage to promoter and con man Jack Dennison. ...
- There are short set pieces in which Dorothy stands up to the ugly face of racial prejudice, but these are standard scenes meant more to learn about Dorothy's character than the racial climate of the period. Family relationships reveal more about what events shaped Dorothy's character, contributing to her eventual downfall.
- Framed from a conventional biopic device of Dorothy looking back on her career, the script wanders in a fairly chronological order, making it easy enough to follow. ... Martha Coolidge sits the director's chair on solid ground, but in the end, it is the fascination of watching Berry perform in this charismatic role that makes Introducing Dorothy Dandridge a cut about the typical biopic.
- Considering the original television origin, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge has some excellent production values. ...
