I was seven years old when my mom took me to see this new "Colored" film...It seems like only yesterday. I was mesmarized by the vision of Dorothy Dandridge in "Carmen Jones."

I will never forget the scene when Belafonte ends her life and she dies with her eyes open. For the longest time, I thought when people died, it was with their eyes open.

She was and is my favorite movie Star. I really relate to her as a person, and hate the way she was mistreated by the evil people that she attracted. I wish I could have been there for her�

Thank you for memoralizing her for all the world to see. She will live forever in the hearts of her many fans. You have done a great job....Dorothy is smiling!!!
