Product Information
The troubled life of Dorothy Dandridge, the first African-American woman to garner an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress (for CARMEN JONES) is dramatized in this fine made-for-HBO film from director Coolidge (RAMBLING ROSE). Gorgeous Berry shines as Dandridge in a role she seems born to play. Dandridge's close relationship with her manager (Spiner) is examined, as is her affair with director Otto Preminger, along with her first marriage to dancer Harold Nicholas, with whom she gave birth to a mentally disabled daughter. Aside from her personal struggles, the film also demonstrates the rampant racism of 1950's Hollywood which she had to endure throughout her short career.Product Identifiers

Halle Berry accurately portrays Dandridge
I watched this film immediately after watching THE JOSEPHINE BAKER STORY and was struck by the fact that Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge apparently never met, yet they faced similar career challenges in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and their lives were remarkably similar. Both were enormously talented but had trouble breaking the color barrier in the United States. The difference, at least in the movies, is that while Baker had her insecurities, she was able to present a strong, tough-as-nails facade. Baker dumped men, not the other way around, and had no trouble speaking up or walking away when people treated her badly because of her race. Dandridge is portrayed as more fragile and insecure. She feels angry when barred from hotels and restrooms, but seeks advice from men --- usually white men --- before taking action. She decides to accept or reject movie roles, then changes her mind when someone criticizes her decision. Like many women with low self-esteem, Dandridge is taken advantage of by men who claim to love her but are using her to further their own careers, while overlooking the one man who has been loyal all along (Brent Spiner, who proves there's more to his acting repertoire than Star Trek's Commander Data). All this does not make Dandridge any less of a role model. It makes her human and accessible, and all the more admirable for achieving success despite societal barriers and her own fears. Highly recommended.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
