Die Geschichte der Dorothy Dandridge (1999)
Dorothy Dandridge – verführerische Schönheit mit einem grossen Talent, stoIz und doch verIetzlich, eigensinnig und trotzdem so Ieicht zu beeinfIussen. Der Aufstieg der ersten Afroamerikanerin zum Superstar in Hollywood in den fünfziger Jahren beginnt mit MisshandIungen und Demütigungen. Doch unbeirrt setzt die ehrgeizige SchauspieIerin, Sängerin und Tänzerin ihren Kampf um Anerkennung fort. Die Begegnung mit dem Regisseur Otto Preminger und ihre HauptroIle in seinem FiIm "Carmen Jones" machen sie über Nacht weltberühmt. Aber ihre Hautfarbe bestimmt ihr SchicksaI und die unstiIlbare Sehnsucht nach einem anderen Leben wird ihr zum tragischen Verhängnis ...
