Dorothy Dandridge was truly a giant in her time, her only drawback was that she was Black and tried to fit into white elite society, only to find out that being Black was a roadblock to being in the class of Marilyn Monroe.

She was a beautiful woman, with a GOD given talent. She was born at the wrong time in American History. Marilyn Monroe was given a new physical look, as well as a new personality in order to be a super star. Dorothy Dandridge used her own beauty and GOD given talents.

Dorothy Dandridge was nominated for an Oscar for which she deserved, her color was the final outcome of the Oscar decision. Dorothy Dandridge will always be remembered by the Black community in one of the greatest movies ever made, Carmen Jones.
