PHOTOS OF THE DAY: CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD AFRICAN-AMERICAN BEAUTIES

February is National Black History Month and throughout this month, I am going to spotlight articles on African-Americans in entertainment. Sadly many African-Americans had a hard time in classic Hollywood, and the racism of that era is still around today. However, there were some beautiful African American actresses that I want to spotlight...

Dorothy Dandridge (1922-1965)

Thelma Harris (1906-1985)

Lena Horne (1917-2010)

Eartha Kitt (1927-2008)

Nina Mae McKinley (1912-1967)

Ruby Dee (1922-2014)

    Although her roles in many films were never huge, I always keep my eyes peeled for the vivacious Theresa Harris.

    A few years ago Eartha Kitt played a nightclub in the Toronto area and a young local news reporter was interviewing her and she turned on the charm and had that guy blushing. She never lost it.
