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, stamped on the back and in pretty nice shape with note to a crease on the upper right and some editorial remnants from publication.
