Dorothy Dandridge Trivia
|
- Referred to by Lena Horne as "...our Marilyn Monroe".
- Daughter of Ruby Dandridge.
- Her best friend was Geraldine Pate Nicholas Branton, former wife of Fayard Nicholas of the tap dancing duo The Nicholas Brothers.
- Madame Sul-Te-Wan was not Dorothy's real life grandmother as is often rumored. In the definitive biography on Dandridge, by Donald Bogle, it is suggested that this rumor started because she played her grandmother in the film Carmen Jones.
- Her daughter was born with a brain injury.
