Any fans here? She was electric as Carmen Jones, a pity she was not given better roles after that film. I loved Halle’s portrayal of her in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. Tragic life.
Halle Berry was AWFUL as Dorothy Dandridge. Girl can't act.

R1 Really? I thought she was wonderful. She won an Emmy for her performance.

Dorothy was like the Black Marilyn Monroe.

R2 Competition wasn't fierce that year.
She failed to embody the richness of Dandridge.

She was great in CARMEN. She was in Selznick's SINCE YOU WENT AWAY, which had everyone, including his mistress, Jennifer Jones, playing opposite her cuckholded husband, Robert Taylor, in it. Dorothy played a departing WWII soldier's girl, and is mesmerizing in her tiny bit. It also starred noted black actress, and Oscar winner, Hattie McDaniel, and Hattie's GWTW castmate, Butterfly McQueen.

She was absolutely beautiful in Island in the Sun.

Harry Belafonte should’ve gotten with her, but he famously told Eartha Kitt no black won an could do anything for him.

Dorothy should be hyped up like Audrey and Marilyn are.

Janet should have played her. Her Twenty Foreplay video was sort of like a campaign for the role.

Janet's nose job is too distracting.

R5, you mean Robert Walker, not Taylor.
