Gina Wilhelm Actress - Celebrating Dorothy Dandridge
African American actress Dorothy Dandridge got her start as part of a child act with her sister Vivian in an act known as The Wonder Children.
She came to Hollywood during the Depression. Unsatisfied with the sorts of roles she got, she continued to perform live with her sister in an act now known as The Dandridge Sisters.
Dandridge felt she wasn't the greatest singer, but knew her greatest talents lay in her beauty, poise, and elegance.
She was the first African American woman to receive a best actress Academy Award nomination for her performance in "Carmen Jones."
