Dandridge Quotes

On Dorothy Dandridge: "...You have to find a way to be sad on every day, in every scene, in every moment. And always try to hide the sadness. And (then) you`ll get the essence of who she was."

This moment is so much bigger than me, This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll... It`s for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett Smith, Angela Bassett, Vivica A. Fox... and it`s for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance, because the door tonight has been opened. - During her Oscar acceptance speech.
