    Dorothy Dandridge: The Life and Legacy of One of Hollywood’s First Successful Black Actresses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    “If I were white, I could capture the world.” (Dorothy Dandridge)The bright summer sun shined blissfully on a secluded valley tucked into the romantic Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Water bubbled friskily over a rocky streambed as trees swayed in the gentle tropical breeze and dappled the banks in playful shadows.A closer look reveals a man and a woman entwined on the rocky shore in an intimate embrace. The man trembles with longing as he bends over the woman, his parted lips just inches from hers. She eagerly folds her arms around him, her fingertips passionately digging into the skin on his back as she draws him closer.Suddenly, a director’s voice rings out, “Cut!” The man was white. The woman was black, and in Hollywood in 1959, that was still taboo. The steamy scene was being shot for the film Malaga, and Dorothy Dandridge, the actress in the scene, had just shared Hollywood’s controversial first interracial kiss on screen, a year earlier.Despite this distinction and other more notable accomplishments, many people today are not familiar with the groundbreaking actress, even though she was among the most charismatic and beautiful actresses of the era. Her alluring nightclub acts set pulses pounding across the globe, and she was Hollywood’s first black leading actress.Sadly, all of it came at a high price. Dorothy bore the scars of a tormented childhood, endured the fallout from multiple failed relationships, suffered professional and financial setbacks, and battled ongoing alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Throughout all that, racism was the most tenacious demon she had to fight. Dorothy came of age in an era when society and the entertainment world largely held to demeaning racial stereotypes. Though she appeared in 15 movies, her career was overshadowed by the work of contemporary white screen legends such as Grace Kelly, Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe.Dorothy, understandably, believed she could have be ungekürzt.

    American Legends: The Life of Katharine Hepburn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    Early in her career, there was no actress more controversial than Katharine Hepburn. By the end of her career, there was no actress more beloved than Katharine Hepburn. Famously labeled "box office poison" in 1938, it is clear that Hollywood was not prepared for the young Hepburn. Yet, even after being scorned by the general public, Hepburn still retained a magnetism that would endear her to the public for decades to come, and after a tumultuous first decade as an actress, Hepburn became arguably the biggest box office sensation in the industry. Moreover, in an era when most actresses were unable to secure starring roles after reaching middle age, Hepburn remained a leading lady even after turning 60. Hepburn acted in some capacity from the start of the 1930s through the early-1990s, and it is important to view how the nature of Hepburn's roles changed from her youth to old age. Aside from being one of the most recognized and acclaimed actresses in history, Hepburn's career is also of great importance because she forced Americans to reevaluate their expectations for female behavior, both in films themselves and off the movie set as well. American Legends: The Life of Katharine Hepburn profiles the life and career of one of America's most iconic actresses. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cira Larkin.
