Dorothy Dandridge / Cannes Festival Last moments of the 1955 festival

[@TrangPakbaby]

Sis was feeling herself. I love it ❤️😍

[@nishaj4095]

Yesss!

[@AndriaaLeoLove]

Nah, Too Regal For That Talk.

[@enchantresse23]

She was absolutely stunning ✨

[@mindysmith5825]

Love this video of Dorothy! She exudes sensuality with her sexy walk, her eyes, and the wind blowing in her hair. I really wish she could have done many more movies...it would be wonderful to see more of her. I also love her outfit in this video. A simple style but very ladylike, and she had a nice body, trim and shapely. One of my favorites from Hollywood's golden era.

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

Very feminine

[@Model_Roe]

Marilyn Monroe copied her not to mention they were very good friends as they attended the same acting school in Los Angeles

[@zz424]

dorothy looks absolutely amazing when she comes walking into the picture! wow! how statuesque! wow and then when we see her face close up and she's looking right into the camera! scintillating! wow! omg what star quality. you can feel it right through the film!

[@chiliswerve9457]

Dorothy so beautiful!!

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

Yes

[@msmedved_]

Good lord she's gorgeous!

[@tinamarie2484]

How come we've never seen interviews from Dorothy? 😞

[@jesuslovesme8477]

OMG. I be thinking the same thing

[@blackpinups]

@@jesuslovesme8477 right! No video interviews. There are only clips of Carmen Jones, an Oscar presentation, and two performances of her on TV and one TV movie. Man racism sucks! That is all on Dorothy! Not an single interview clip anywhere. 😡

[@bigbaby4815]

They don’t want us to !!! Just like they limit how many clips and movies by her are available. They never wanted her to be bigger than Marilyn and THATS why loads of black woman and men don’t even know who she is .

[@telikaandfam]

I just heard a video of her introducing Martin Luther King I was so happy to see this on KZbin

[@blackpinups]

@Katara Wilcox yes I have. 😊

I love this. Thank you for sharing. So refreshing to see someone who looks like me with their clothes on

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

No I have to find that one :)

[@zz424]

Racism killed Dorothy Reader book but what about Oprah? What about Halle Berry? What about Jada Pinkett Smith? What about Lola Falana? Blacks it made it to the top and all Fields nowadays so don't act like you are discriminated against it's almost a bonus to be black nowadays

[@user-et5jy9qs6x]

zz And how about all the other white mediocre actresses/actors getting put on while more blacks get pushed to the back? It’s a bonus to be black? How about when you’re a darkskin woman and get passed up for roles and watching your roles get handed to your lightskin, white, nonblack peers? Most of the women you are naming are just a few black women who made it in a sea of mediocre talent of their white counterparts. You can barely name any successful young black actresses nowadays. Black Hollywood was much bigger than nowadays even though it was still small.

[@momoiida5505]

@@zz424 That's NOT for YOU to say. Just because some are successful doesn't mean that there's no discrimination.

[@dxmxo9427]

That woman with her hair down..looks so amazing..no one at that time had their hair down like that..so cool

[@Shay_TheUnpopularOpinion_]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤ Thank you for sharing!

It’s unfortunate we don’t get a chance to see interviews of her . 😏She’s was beautiful 💕

Staring Myself-Dorothy Dandridge. The day...lots were going through my mind as I step discernly down the walkway. Feeling the breeze in deep thought. Thinking..taking a break to reflect on my next decision as my career was slowly coming to a halt. Wondering how everyone was fairing as new acts were being recognized. Thinking how to broaden my talents to more risky acting roles, and talking time for self...with hope in plain site.

[@LillianSteele-u9v]

She should have won the Oscar for her performance in Carmen Jones. A family favorite,Dorothy was one of the best actors ever and could have beat many of today's so called stars of any race.

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

Agreed, they just could not give it to her because of their prejudices and although Grace Kelly took it for COUNTRY GIRL...she knew Dorothy really won...no way they were going to give it to a Negro

[@emilee5811]

RIP sweet Dorothy !

[@donalddavis6689]

Dorothy Dandridge 😍!! Are A Beautiful African American Lady.. That Grace The Cover Of Hollywood, Ca. 🎥.

[@MEGAjunglejuice]

Did you ever see footage of her leaving a plane, and engaging in an interview immediately afterward?

[@michaelnewell6385]

In France could swim in any pool she wanted, dine with other people not having to walk through the kitchen to go to her room. Could do it in France, but not in her own country. I guarantee you as a guy, and I’m sure most guys would say this, whatever film she is in her scenes are the most replayed scenes in the whole movie. Her scene with James Mason in “the decks ran red” just did me in. “Does it bother you Captain?” It gets me every time. Wow, what a hottie.❤️

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

A very gorgeous lady

[@TONEBHURT]

Dorothy C'est Magnifique🕊🤍

[@lsimon343]

I wish Otto priemingerdidnt get his hooks into her. He ruined her career

[@monilaninetynine3811]

I love Dorothy, but SHE ruined her career. Nobody told her to listen to Otto's bald headed azz

[@SrAJones-ns7sx]

Not allowed to mingle? Must be filmed solo.... a nice 2minute mini movie or display but also telling too...

[@akrenwinkle]

What's with the honky-tonk music every time Dorothy walks? More suitable for someone sleazy like Jayne Mansfield.

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

@@akrenwinkle Agreed....it was over the top...She was a classy lady...maybe I can do it over with appropriate music

[@dorothyjeandandridge]

Okay I redid the video footage music.... hope you enjoy.new upload

[@akrenwinkle]

@@dorothyjeandandridge I was dissing the accompanying music, which I assume is the original from the French newsreel, their idea of any black woman being seductive just walking. If it's the original, please leave it, an ancient cringe that makes a statement.

[@johnallen7259]

English please

[@JadaFan4life]

I've said it in other threads and I will say it again but if Hollwood ever does another Dorothy Dandridge bio pic they need to cast Ruth Negga from Preacher pronto. In this clip of Dorothy at the Cannes film festival I think Ruth resembles her even moreso then Halle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqTWiIymmsmjbaM

[@momoiida5505]

Nah

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

Dorothy was so beautiful you could tell she was aging here during the close up shots

[@electrictroy2010]

She was only 32.... hardly old .

[@curleii333]

That was stress

[@PHlophe]

@@electrictroy2010 it the white skin. she had the same skin quality as caucasians . she looked regal tho

[@TahariBlue]

Are you kidding me? do see how very little makeup if any at all she is wearing, and with that camera that close up in her face, she still reads flawless. You would be terribly surprised if you saw Marilyn with that little bit of makeup or any at all...............Dorothy is a natural beauty

[@Nina5144]

Could be the booze, pills or the stress of it all

[@lsimon343]

Like a black Marilyn Monroe ;$

[@momoiida5505]

Or Marilyn Monroe was a white Dorothy Dandridge. They were contemporaries and friends. I know that MM was more famous but, we all know why that was. I like both MM and DD; I just feel that it could be said the other way around.
