We know who and about Harold Nicolas. He is half of the famous Nicholas Brothers. He died in 2000. He danced pretty much up until his death. If youve ever seen the movie the five heartbeats, he played the dancing war vet, Sarge who was able to get the group "in step" with each other and help defined their style. As for Harolyn because of cerebral issues that were due to either a delayed birth or forceps used during labor, it's been reported that she lived to be 60 yrs old and in 2003 she died in the institution she lived in most of her life. With no one coming to claim her body she was lost in paperwork for years . Its quite sad the issues and hardships that plagued their whole family (extended included) . I hope Dorothy and all of her family are at peace. Thank you for the video

I love Dorothy Danridge 💜. She is such a beautiful and true Queen. I love her beauty, her voice and just her overall. I just love hearing the fact that Marilyn Monroe and her really good friends. (To be honest I love the fact that Marilyn played her part in fighting against racism back then. Like the story how she helped Ella Fitzgerald to get booked in one of the night clubs and she told the owner of the nightclub that if they don't book her then she would not come to the club anymore. And when she did get booked Marilyn kept her promise and she came there every night and sat in the front row. Hearing that story always warned my heart because knowing that Marilyn was really a person who didn't see color she just saw people and didn't care about race😊💜.) Now there was another article that I read that really made me so happy it involved Dorothy and Marlon Brando and I read an article where Dorothy and Marlon attended a ceremony and I believe Dorothy had won an award for something and Marlon was the one giving the award to her and when she got up on stage to recieve the award Marlon flat out kissed her on the lips in front of everybody that was there💯😊. Now I know back in the day that was very taboo and I want to say that was legal back then but see I love the fact that Marlon didn't care he just flat out did it because the man liked what he like and he liked miss beautiful Dorothy Dandridge. If I was Dorothy hell I wouldn't even be mad at him for that 💯. But I truly love this and I love Miss Dorothy Dandridge May that woman rest in peace and paradise she will ever for be a true Queen💜👑✨.

I loved Carmen Jones,she was wonderful in that role, I like when the boxer husky miller told pearl Bailey,don't come back unless you got heatwave wit ya...she was beautiful,and like many of us she had childhood trauma that haunted her all her life... You narrated this story perfectly....

Otto Premininger hurt her professionally due to his controlling nature. She deserved better. Her loss was such a tragedy 😢 💔

I loved all Dorothy films even the ones where she wasn’t shown in a great light because you could tell her acting was authentic and came from the heart.
