Dorothy Dandridge was a movie star who had it all, but behind the glamour was the reality. Halle Berry stars in this fact-based story of passion, tragedy and tremendous success.
The film spans the life and career of the luminous actress who overcame discrimination to become the first African American woman ever nominated for a Best Actress Oscar(R) (for Carmen Jones in 1954).
The film also stars Brent Spiner, Obba Babatunde, Loretta Devine, Tamara Taylor, Alexis Carrington, LaTanya Richardson, Cynda Williams, Klaus Maria Brandauer.
Halle Berry won a Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe for this performance, and went on to be the first Black woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress.
‘Introducing Dorothy Dandridge’ is available on HBO Max.
