WOW, this movie was great. I had no idea who Dorothy Dandridge was. I personally thank the "team" for bringing this story to the big screen! I would and have recommended this movie as a must see!!

Before watching this fine HBO film, I didn't know much about Dorothy Dandridge, a pioneering African-American performer. In pre-Civil Rights years, she was a Hollywood actress and singer whose talent was much appreciated by audiences. However, when the spotlights went off, she suffered constant humiliations, being required to use back entrances to hotels and forbidden to set foot in swimming pools designated "for whites only." The dazzling Halle Berry portrays Dandridge at her high and low points. The overall cast is also excellent, especially Brent Spiner as Earl Mills, her manager, and Klaus Maria Brandauer, as Otto Preminger.
