The study of Dorothy Dandridge
This theater trained actor, was talented and had flawless beauty.
She broke barriers in the entertainment industry with the first African-American actor nomination for best actress Academy Award for her performance in Carmen Jones.
Actor, singer, and dancer, she was a triple threat in the entertainment world. So I assumed her life equally fore filling. I assumed also while studying her that she had it all beauty brains and a charmed life. But I was wrong just because you're beautiful but doesn't mean life is just great. I wish it was for her because she seem to be a decent human being but she just ran into a lot of unfortunate circumstances. We all do, it's called life.
She was judge based on her beauty. Her flawless beauty grabbed more attention than her talents.
Just because you're flawless beauty it doesn't mean you're flawless of trials and tribulations. Her life tragically ended at the age of 42. Talent is talent, no matter what. And it is especially sad when a talent so young is gone.
The script writing behind her sketch are pieces from the article from Ebony magazine.
