Description:

In this compelling biographical drama, we follow the extraordinary life of Dorothy Dandridge, an immensely talented stage performer navigating through a time when society's prejudice often dictated the trajectory of her career. Despite the adversity she faced due to her color, Dorothy's resilience and determination led her to break boundaries by becoming the first black woman ever nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award, for her role in "Carmen Jones." The film delves into Dorothy's personal life, which was equally full of passion and pain - from her tumultuous marriages and affairs to the triumphs and trials she experienced in Hollywood. As played by Halle Berry, this complex woman embodies both the allure and agony of stardom, making for a riveting portrayal of an exceptional yet tragically flawed icon.
