peggativity Pearl Bailey!
Dorothy Dandridge and Pearl Bailey in Carmen Jones. By many accounts, Pearl was jealous of Dorothy. She thought that she should have played the role of Carmen, and she later thought that she should have played the role of Bess in Porgy and Bess. "It was obvious to all of us that Pearl was jealous of Dorothy. Most of us were theatre trained, including Pearl, and Dorothy was from a different tradition. She was a very fine actress for film--she let the camera come for her. But Pearl didn't think Dorothy was a good actress or singer." Olga James who played the role of Cindy Lou in Carmen Jones. Pearl Bailey as Carmen? I think not! Nothing against Ms. Bailey, but I can't cant picture that. She was better suited for the role of Frankie.
loischantrelle I've read a few stories about Miss Pearl Bailey but Regardless of what is said i wasnt there so i cant verify. I do know Pearl Bailey was a great talent in her own right and it's no secret that she had a very strong personality and some people were not fond of her due to her politics and personal life. I still think theatrically trained actors are better than one who aren't. Angela Bassett is a far better actress than say Halle Berry. Love them both but truth is truth.
loischantrelle Oan: Halle Berry did do a spectacular job of playing Dorothy Dandridge because she had so much in common with her and felt a connection. I don't think anyone could come close to matching that portrayal on screen.
tanziibear Exactly. I don't watch it ever except for when the awards come and it makes me mad most of the times how its people like little Wayne and drake , who get recognized and to me they have no talent. I'll Wayne disrespecting emitt till on his song disgusted me because what happened to that kid was soo tragic . Comparing beating a girls "p**** up" to him getting beaten up eyes gaged out and thrown in a swamp is highly disturbing and he gets no respect from me. I hate bet they are all about sex and not giving credit to those who fought there ways through segregation to get on that screen. I wonder if there is anyway I can bring this point up to them because I want to see them get credited for their achievements . Because of Dorothy and Harry belafonte and many other black talented people these untalented rappers get to be on tv with mixed races talking badly and making millions of dollars
