Failed Restaurant Copper Cart Copper Cart was known as a favorite eatery and known for it's prime rib. "Denison was a con-artist who wanted to live off her earnings and have her provide financially for his sinking restaurant businesses. He put a good front, but on their wedding night he was broke." ~ Earl Mills , Dottie's Manager When they wed, Dorothy was earning about $250,000 a year.  Denison was persuasive enough to get his wife to make a series of bad decisions.  Pouring money into his failed restaurants and even sang regularly at his "third-rate" club, a move she knew would drastically reduce her standing in the show business world.  But she did it anyway.  Then, again, heartache entered the picture.  When Dandridge's bank account had been milked dry, the marriage ended. ~ Geri Branton , Dottie's Best Friend The Womanizer Slick and Petty Denison with Beautiful Dorothy Friends of Dorot

YOU CAN SEE HOW PATHETIC JACK DENISON WAS.  FAST FORWARD TO 11:21. Met a lady through her reaching out to me through FaceBook Messenger.  This is what she shared with me about Jack Denison:  Hi Karmen.   I see that you are the blogger for Dorothy Dandridge.  Amazing all the information you have collected about her marriage to Jack Denison.   A distant cousin of mine, Tina, who discovered me through ancestry dot com,  has been doing research to help find the real parents and grand parents for a guy named David who is half Greek, was adopted and born in Canada in 1958.   Tina sent me the link to your blog after I told her what I’m about to tell you.  To try to make a long story short, DNA testing led her to me because of my relations to Greeks from Canada related to my dad.   My dad met my mom, who was living with her sister in Montreal, while visiting his relatives in Canada in 1934.  My dad lived in Washington DC.  My mom dated Jack Denison in
