Dorothy was so beautiful, her voice charming. deserved much more
I can imagine this performance had to be difficult for her. She had an anxiety disorder. Terrible stage fright. Of course she was incredible. 💖
First off, thank you for posting this video of the '57 Oscars. I'm surprised that John Fulton didn't give a speech after winning for The Ten Commandments (Best Special Effects). It looked as though Dorothy Dandridge asked Fulton if he wanted to say something, and, apparently, Fulton said no. Also, the glum look on the audience's faces while applauding Dorothy after she sang the title tune, Julie, from the movie of the same name. While I have always liked the creativity of Old Hollywood, I never liked the stereotypes of different groups. That was the con. Dorothy was a goddess and extremely gifted.
Celluloidwatcher John P. Fulton was an odd guy. He was extremely intelligent, but not much of a “people person,” and by this time, he had already won an Oscar for another film back in 1946. In that case, he didn’t even attend the ceremony. He was working in the garage when it was announced he won, so his wife went and told him that he’d won. His response was, “That’s nice.” I think he got his arm twisted into even attending this Oscar ceremony. By this time, he had long since grown tired of special effects and had wanted to be a film director, but never got the chance. I’m surprised he even showed up to the ceremony and accepted the Oscar.
@@biffmercury That was an interesting story. If Fulton didn't want to attend the Oscars, he could have had a colleague step in for him to accept the award, which is M.P. Academy custom for Oscar winners, but, I guess, he had other ideas.
Extremely intelligent to be able to create such brilliant film movie but have two brings of a windbag
Dorothy Dandridge had natural sex appeal. She didn't try to be sexy, she just was sexy, her voice, her facial expressions while singing, her natural smooth delivery and pure sexy essence. She was bad and I do mean great, pure greatness.
TEN COMMANDMENTS DESERVES
1. BEST SCORE
2. BEST COSTUME
3. BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN
Best Picture?
Best Picture of The Year
Wow I never knew this existed, how beautiful! What a beautiful voice!
Brown Royal isn't she sweet? 😍❤️
Dorothy Dandridge was literally the epitome of beauty. Halle Berry was the only actress that had any business playing her...period!
J Diamond Yeah right....in her plastic surgery enhanced dreams. Dorothy was far more beautiful then Janet ever was.
J Diamond Janet had her first nose job at the age of 16 so she has been getting work done well throughout the 80s. This clip of the stunningly beautiful Dorothy doesn't look anything remotely like Janet in any way shape or form but Janet fans tend to be delusional when it comes to her anyway.
JadaFan4life who taught you to be so negative? Did Janet personally attack you? Janet was going to play her first genius. But she passed because of her schedule.
Neena G And who said It was a requirement to praise Janet? Janet was not the first person that expressed interest in Dorothy. The Dorothy Dandridge story was floated around long before Janet ever came into Hollywood. Jayne Kennedy and Irene Cara showed interest in the part years ago and Vanessa L Williams talked about playing Dorothy way back in the mid 80s. Janet arguably was the most famous out of the bunch but she definitely was not the first.
JadaFan4life when I said Janet was going to play her first I meant before Halle Berry. And of course I know other people wanted to play Dorothy. Just don’t praise a woman just to talk down on another woman.That’s not cool.
Classic beauty
DOROTHY WAS A FLAWLESS BEAUTY.
What's so heartbreaking is the dull look the audience gives her after she finishes the song. I love Old Hollywood, but especially as a black woman, am still not blind to what we experienced and how we were treated.
They were not ready and still are not ready for a black woman of that calibre, which today we have many beautiful, talented, and charismatic black women today.
@@andrewforte3852 Well said baby well said. 💖
I noticed that too. Racism was alive then, and it is still alive now in this day and age. It's sad, but it's reality.
@@lauramscott9252 Definitely is still alive now. Smh. Then they wonder why we're so "angry." Nah we FED UP. And have been for a long, long time.
@@p994able Absolutely! Right on sista!
What I like about the award ceremonies back then was that it was straight to the point, It wasn't dragging along like today's ceremonies.
Jerry Lewis and Dorothy Dandridge, two Icons.
Absolutely!!!!!
Beauty and the Beast.
She was too good for them!
I’m so glad to find these high quality videos of Dorothy talking. She looks beautiful. She radiates on camera. The 10 commandments is one of my dad’s favorite movies he had it on VHS in the 90s
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this snip of The beautiful Angélic Miss Dorothy Dandridge at The 1957 Oscars. I didn't even know this exisited. Every footage of Dorothy has to come to light in The worl for the beautiful start that she Is shinning down on us every greatful for bring her back to life. Thank you & thank you Dorothy you are gone but never forgotten.
She paved the way for many black actresses
The Ten Commandments should've won more that year
Elmer Bernstein deserves an Oscar for his score.
Cecil B DeMille deserves Best Director.
Ten Commandments deserves Best Picture.
So even then, they'd play music from the film being awarded after the winner was announced and as the awardee was going to the stage to receive the Oscar.
The Ten Commandments was the Best Picture of 1956, no matter what the Academy said.
And Dorothy Dandridge was a jewel.
Tradition
Dorothy Dandridge A beautiful Lady singing a Beautiful Song. Could one ask for more?
She was so well spoken
Lisette Nicole' shocking?
She was a Goddess
Thank you so much for posting this., that included myself, Dorothy Dandrige. A time indeed. It was an honor to present an award for special effects to John P Falton. And singing "Julie"
This was the year The King & I was released. It is heartbreaking Dorothy Dandridge allowed Otto Preminger to talk her out of playing Tuptim. She later reflected in her autobiography that it was the biggest mistake of her career. It upset her contract with 20th Century Fox. Preminger persuaded her that Tuptim was a mere supporting role & that, after her Oscar nominated Carmen Jones triumph, she should only accept 'star' roles in the movies. He had a point, but of course Preminger overlooked the fact that 'star' roles for African American women in Hollywood didn't exist. She couldn't expect to work as often as Elizabeth Taylor & Marilyn Monroe. Dorothy realised, too late, that her decision to decline the role of Tuptim in a dazzling movie musical seen by millions was a bad one.
Listening to Preminger meant she didn't work in film for 3 years until Island in the Sun in 1957 -- in a supporting role. Offers were presented, but taking Preminger's she declined. Then the phone stopped ringing.
Dorothy Dandridge was born on this day November 09, 1922. I would like to take a moment and reflect on Her Firsts. She was the First African American Actor to be Nominated for an Oscar in a Leading Actress category, To walk the red carpet and be an Oscar Presenter, the same year she was nominated, To grace the cover of Life Magazine, To appear at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and sign a three-year contract with a major studio, 20 Century Fox. This video is from the 1957 Oscar Presentations, the year Island in the Sun came out, in which she was one of the stars. [The movie was made in 1956] The King and I came out in 1956. Miss Dandridge rejected the movie in 1955. For some reason, much has been written, through the decades, about this one role she turned down. The one movie she didn't make has garnered more attention than the movies she did make. Actors turn down roles all the time. John Kerr turned down the role of Gary Cooper's son in Friendly Persuasion for the Leading role in Gaby. Anthony Perkins took the role he turned down, and received an Oscar nomination for the supporting role, Harry Belafonte turned down the role of Porgy, in Porgy and Bess. Her autobiography co-authored with Earl Conrad came out in 1970, five years after her death. One doesn't know which words were really hers and which words were his. A lot of what she supposedly said doesn't make any sense, and some things are not true. Turning down the role of Tuptim did not upset her contract. Her contract was for star roles, name above the title,, not supporting roles. The point was made by her lawyer, citing the exact paragraph in her contract that stated this. It makes no sense that turning down this one role, which did not meet the terms of her contract, would be the biggest mistake of her career. It's not as if producers came to her and said we would have hired you for this movie, but you turned down that role in The King and I. As long as she was under contract, The studio was contracted to give her a least one movie a year, with a staring role. She didn't have to worry about the phone ringing. The studio was contracted to call her at least once a year with a staring role. The whole point of her being offered the contract was her popularity with her fans. She didn't have to worry about being in a film seen by millions. The studio expected her name to sell box office tickets. With the exception of the 1953 film Remains to be seen, in which she played herself, She starred in every film she made from 1951 to her last in 1962 {Marco Polo, which was not completed because the producers ran out of money}. I think it's good that this legacy was not tainted by the one supporting role that everybody keeps talking about. She wasn't Liz Taylor or Marilyn Monroe. She was Dorothy Dandridge. Marilyn Monroe was never nominated for an oscar.
She was holding back.
Good. Those racist white folks didn't deserve what this queen gave them.
Dorothy is beautiful from head to toe stop. Hating
This is great I had no idea this was out there! I honestly have never seen her sing live "with her own voice" - she could have done great
James Tyler I wish she had made more records. A beauty in voice and looks.
She recorded one album which was released on C.D. in 1999, Titled Smooth Operator. You can by it on Amazon, but I think you can listen to all the songs on the C.D. via RUclips.
@@1234pouvez 🦋Thank you for posting this comment! I had no idea Dorothy had an album- only knew she recorded songs and they always blocked her from releasing them. The album is great FYI😬💕
That dress on her is heaven.
She was a beautiful and talented woman who was under appreciated!
Audience full of haters. Lol They didn't deserve her.
Same thing I said smh.
She also has a pretty voice like her mom and sister (her mom Ruby had an adorable speaking voice)
Hermosa mujer
Elegant grammars and intelligent with poise Dorothy Daniels a deliver of many talents
Dandridge, Love, Dorothy Dandridge. 💖
Stunning!!!!
A song! Thank you!
LOVE Dorothy!
I could always imagine her singing Stephanie Mills' song, "What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin'" for some reason. (The long version btw.)
Love that song.
Dorothy didn't get an Oscar for her role in island in the sun but many years later actress Halle berry won her. Oscar in the 2002 film monster's ball
Dorothy Dandridge and Halle Berry both BORN in CLEVELAND OHIO
Halle Berry got the role as Dorothy Dandridge had beauty and poise and talent she would make a great Carmen Jones reprise the way Dorothy Dandridge did with Harry Belafonte in 1954 their previous film together was Bright Road where she played a schoolteacher
I never knew she appeared at the Oscar’s again. ❤ 2:26
IT SHOULD HAVE WOM MUCH MORE, BEST PICTURE, BEST ACTOR, BEST DIRECTOR, BEST SUPORTING ACATORS BEST SCORE THERE NEVER WAS A BETTER MUSIC, COSTUME, MORE MORE SHAME ON THE ACADEMY
The Ten Commandments should have won Best Picture of 1956 and deserved many Academy Awards but it was snubbed because Cecil B. Demille wasn't respected in Hollywood at the time and that's a horrible shame and Unforgivable Period!!!!!
I love listening to her speak
Wow this show is stack with beauty Dorothy was breath taking.❤ 2:57
I really admire the black celebs in Hollywood, not the biracial/multiracial ones like Halle Berry. I don't consider Dorothy Dandridge a black actress too since she is clearly a mixed person but always sought to imbibe class and elegance and she is responsible for opening up Hollywood to casting a non-white, non-Caucausian person in leading roles and interracial relationships.
The black celebs, all of them from Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier and Whoopi Goldberg to our present-day Viola Davis exude so much grace, class and elegance in spite of all they had to go through, they went through it with patience and without resorting to politics and unruly behaviour.
A big difference from the actual black population who have their own flaws - religious, aggression, etc.
I guess these actors had to face double the hardships, racial discrimination growing up and in making it in Hollywood.
These actors have opened up Hollywood bit by bit and you can compare the black representation in Hollywood with other races, in particular, Asian where a majority of Asian characters which come once in a while and are never in prominent roles are played by biracial actors.
@Trz Genre Cyril Dandridge's mother looked fully Caucasian according to Dorothy's biographer, Donald Bogle.
@Trz Genre thats her mom, Ruby Dandridge not her paternal grandmother.
I still want to meet Sidney Poitier some day if I am so fortunate
@@jmo5037 Her mom name is Ruby Dandridge, and she's a dark skin Black woman, there's nothing "Caucasian" looking about her
@@WMBWLove I reckon you can't comprehend. I was talking about her father's mother not her own mother.
Interesting how the envelop annoucing the winner is given already OPENED!
That seemed to be the way it was done during that period. It was already opened in 1955 when Bette Davis announced the winner Marlon Brando as best actor and in 1954 when Walter Brennan announced Donna Reed as the winner for supporting actress.
At the end, the audience of wet blankets didn't care much for Dorothy's rendition of "Julie," but this ballad was pretty awful, from a dull Doris Day movie of the same name.
Rip xxxtentacion
Wrong video
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
E o pior que não chegaram a dar Oscar para lewis
The Fulton guy didn't give a speech why
Because he was a humble genius whose work spoke for itself.
