Vintage Hollywood Private Klub (Los Angeles, CA)
Dorothy Dandridge’s life story is the stuff of dreams … and nightmares. Rising to unprecedented heights of fame as “Hollywood’s First Love Goddess of Color,” Dandridge was the first African-American to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in Carmen Jones. But only 11 years later, Dandridge was dead, her finances exhausted, her daughter in an institution, and her memory badly faded. Lonely Girl restores Dandridge to her rightful place as one of Hollywood’s — and the nation’s — magnificent talents. Billed as a “photo and film musical play memoir,” Lonely Girl stars the accomplished vocalist and performer Wanda Ray Willis. Humorous, tragic, always captivating, this one-woman show relies on Dandrige’s own writings (and Willis’ own incredible voice) to lead you inside the “secret life” of this incomparable star.
