Never really got into her. I was more so fascinated with Josephine Baker and Eartha Kitt. I gotta watch Carmen Jones or something.

BEST Dorothy Dandridge Bio & Facts: Ethnicity, Mother, Father, Parents Race, Death

Best known for her films Carmen Jones (1954) and Porgy And Bess (1959), Dandridge did not view her complex ethnicity in simple black, white or biracial terms. “If I am in any way a symbol, it stems from my being a ‘mixed American,’” the actress stated in her autobiography, Everything and Nothing. “The melting pot characteristics are written into my features.”

Eartha had a big ass head

:teylol: I love Eartha's voice and both of their personality. They just seem more lively and fun. I never really seen Dandrudge in action. She seems more grown up and sultry than playful like Jo'. I'll definitely look her up tho after seeing this thread.
