Dorothy Dandridge on the Cover of a Magazine
As Dandridge's career rises, she appears on numerous magazine covers. As popular as she was becoming, overtly racist comments and actions follow her the rest of her career. She tells People Today in 1953 that, βTo be a siren of song, one needs more than talent, looks, and voice. One needs understanding of people. At first, I was afraid they wouldnβt like me. Then I realized the first step in that direction was to like them and to assume they would like me.β The magazine refers to her as a βbronze bombshellβ and featured her on the back cover. Soon she'll be making history as the first African-American woman to grace the cover of Life Magazine.
