Dorothy
 Dandridge broke down racial barriers and set the path for black 
actresses. She became the first black female to be nominated for an 
Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her role in Carmen Jones,
 and the first black woman to grace the cover of Life magazine. However,
 society was unable to fully appreciate Dorothy during her lifetime 
simply because of the color of her skin. A legend in every sense of the 
word, Dorothy Dandridge will forever remain the epitome of beauty and 
grace. - See more at:
