REVIEW OF DOROTHY DANDRIDGE: AN AMERICAN BEAUTY October 4, 2009
Sheila Taylor (Chicago, IL)
I bought this DVD sometime ago, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I became very interested in the life of Dorothy Dandridge after the Halle Berry film, which was a fantastic and well-made film. Also the well-researched biography by Donald Bogle also influenced me to find whatever media I could to further understand and explore the factors that undermined and ultimately helped to destroy this gifted, talented, tormented and beautiful actress. This documentary was excellent. It gave great insight into Ms. Dandridge's life. Also Obba Babatunde who helped to produe and direct this documentary was also featured in Ms. Berry's film, in which he gave a fantastic performance. I strongly and heartily recommend to anyone interested in the history of black actors in Hollywood.
Great Movie July 17, 2008

I love this movie! Halle Berry was the perfect person to play this role. Dorothy Dandridge made one too many wrong decisions in her life, but she will always be an icon and a very courageous, talented and sexy black woman for breaking barriers in the world of Hollywood.
WELL APPRECIATED!!!!!!! September 28, 2007

If you can appreciate and love Dorothy Dandridge for the icon she is, you will definitely love this product. It is a well put together biography with many important people featured in it to vouch for my review. Her beauty, pain, and success are all captured in 60 mins. of this pure entertaining saga. ENJOY!

This is a wonderful dvd to add to your collection. It's basically a 1 hr documentary on the life and career of the 1st African American woman to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. If you have an attention span comprable to a fish, don't buy it, but if you're genuinely interested in learning about an exeptional trailblazer (in her own right), this is the dvd to purchase. Respect is finally being rightfully given to this amazing woman, and she definitely deserved it.
