Dorothy Dandridge, Angel Face

"I suppose you could say that I basically kind of emotional, and there are some things, such as graduations and your husband being there when your baby is born, that are very important to me. I missed both of those.  My husband was not there when my baby was born and I  did miss my graduation. And I think the only constructive thing I have done about it is instead of crawling in a hole somewhere or dying on a vine, I use it in my acting, which comes out in an emotional way.  If I have a scene to do that is emotional, it is easy for me to grab an emotion, because I already have them there - little hurts." "This is the biggest hurt of all my whole life." Dorothy's daughter Harolyn was born brain-damaged.  When Dorothy could no longer care for her, Harolyn was put into a private home.

Jet Jul 24, 2000 In this issue in the CELEBRITIES category concerning deaths, Harolyn is listed as survived by concerning her father Harold Nicholas' death. Love Dorothy's hair like this!  This is such a cute picture of her and Harolyn!  Look at the layout of the table!  Dorothy must have learned this from her Jamaican mother Ruby....presentation of the food is just as important in how it tastes :) with Mommy (Dorothy's most treasured photo) Mommy with daughter.

Dorothy's apartment was crammed full of health foods, vitamins and iron.  She is seen here with her secretary Verda Cleveland. Beauty blessed her,but disaster was her constant companion. Despite rumours at the time, Dorothy and Lena were not rivals...Here is Lena with her husband at the Premier of the 1954 film 'Carmen Jones'. w / Vivian and Otto A movie was suppose to happen starring Harry Belafonte, Marlon Brando and Dorothy Dandridge.  Both men were to vie for Dorothy in the film.  The project never came to fruition.  That would have been a great movie! Jack Denison Dorothy had regrets that she did not have a baby with Otto.  Otto did not want a child together, but still she could have had a child with him had she put her selfless ambitions aside.  Dorothy cared more about his career than her own desires to have a child with him.
