Dorothy Dandridge was the first black actress nominated for an Academy Award, but she was much more than that. A talented vocalist, actress, and stunning beauty, she has become a cult figure as well from her tragic early death at the age of 43! An early image from the International News and stamped on the back, this is one of the only pieces of photography from Dandridge we have ever seen and it pictures her from early in her career and dancing in a sort of strip-tease style.
