Janet Jackson really looked like Dorothy Dandridge in the 80's and she modeled herself after Dorothy on few occasions especially when Janet became a sex symbol she have photos where she's dressed up as Dorothy and Janet portray Dorothy in her music video call Twenty Foreplay they look just alike I love when Janet idolizes her idols and Janet herself was suppose to play Dorothy Dandridge but Halle Berry beat her to the role both Janet & Halle are like reincarnations of Dorothy they are apart of her legacy.
Miss Dandrige is a true legend. I wish that Hollywood would make a true to life biopic of her life. There was so much more to her than her obvious beauty. Rest In Peace, you are not forgotten!🌹
June Giovanna I forgot all about that. Thanks for reminding me, I will have to rewatch it. In my opinion Miss Dandrige lived a complicated and tough life. I always feel very sorry for her, especially when I think of her daughter, whom I believe has also now passed. Halle was the one actress who could do right by her. Thanks again!
Janet Jackson idolize Dorothy Dandridge a lot I wish Dorothy was alive though she be over 100 years old but I wish she was alive longer to meet the women she heavily inspired today Dorothy a icon, a legend and a trailblazer she's very important she's up there with her contemporaries like Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Judy Garland and so on.
Janet Jackson's voice is so soothing and she was perfect to narrate about Dorothy Dandridge she always talked about how much Dorothy is a inspiration to her and Janet resembled Dorothy a lot when she was younger and I remember Janet was suppose to play Dorothy in that movie where Halle Berry played Dorothy instead but role should have been for Janet.
I love watching Dorothy Dandridge movies she was such a beautiful, gorgeous and stunning woman and accomplished a lot in her career Janet Jackson was the best choice to narrate Dorothy life she use to study Dorothy since she's Janet inspiration Janet use to look just like Dorothy when she was young I loved when Janet would dress up like Dorothy back then.
I, Dorothy Dandridge, am honored that a piece of my history is being thoughtfully spoken by a trailblazer in her artistry...and that person is Janet. My past life was all of the things you've said, and more, not excluding personal indepth hidden struggles. What a journey indeed. It was ok hearing you share your opinions, compliments, and how much it has influenced you. Words cannot express the appreciation that lies within each heartfelt mention. I appreciate you for this.
Dorothy Dandridge what a trailblazer, icon and legend I always enjoy watching her movies and watching documentaries about her she was a tough woman and made it her business to not let no type of race and discrimination stop her from achieving her goals she was so talented may she rest in peace her sex appeal was unmatched Janet Jackson was perfect to narrate some of Dorothy career cause she always talked about Dorothy Dandridge she idolize Dorothy a lot.
Dorothy Dandridge pave the way she's one of leading ladies of Hollywood she really was able to have a successful career despite those times of racism I always wish Dorothy & Harry Belafonte became a couple I love watching their movies together they would have been a power couple but I love watching Dorothy Dandridge movies. Rest In Peace Dorothy Dandridge you are legendary 🙏🌹
Janet Jackson and Dorothy Dandridge have a lot in common especially being sex symbols Dorothy came back to acting full force she started showing sex appeal and wear revealing outfits just like Janet did she was always was covered up but came back to music being sexual and wore revealing outfits Janet probably took notes from Dorothy in that sense Dorothy a trailblazer, icon and legend 🙏
I am a very huge Janet Jackson fan and she always idolize Dorothy Dandridge as her idol a lot they share a lot of similarities I watched few Dorothy Dandridge movies on the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel and I always wonder why she doesn't get the credit she deserve it's always about Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland or Joan Crawford and so on Dorothy never amongst them in greatest actresses of all time Dorothy is legendary to.
Janet always talk about how Dorothy inspired her I wish Janet did play Dorothy Dandridge in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge she use to look just like Dorothy back in the day no shade to Halle Berry.
Dorothy Dandridge inspired Janet Jackson a great deal she always use to talk about Dorothy in interviews Janet portrayed Dorothy in her music video Twenty Foreplay Janet use to look like Dorothy when she was young wish Dorothy lived longed enough to meet Janet.
Geez she is breath taking!!!! I hate her life was cut so short. It was so strange I wonder what the heck she saw messing with Preminger. Oh well so sad
She really did sleep on this project. Halle berry, Whitney houston, and Janet Jackson All have rights to different books. But it was Halle that took the initiative and made it come to life.
Ok JANET so imma need you To gone head & embrace This jew career as narrator of everything cuz yo voice is PERFECT for it lol I was relaxed & interested all in The same Time
I love that song and video to surprisingly that's the only video Janet dressed up as Dorothy in I love when Janet Jackson pay homage to Dorothy Dandridge cause she has the sex appeal and fierceness of that of Dorothy to it's great Dorothy still being honored she pave the way for WOC in the industry she's very important.
Yes Janet Jackson is Dorothy Dandridge reincarnated like Halle Berry Janet always show her love and admiration for Dorothy Janet Jackson & Halle Berry the only two women who always talk about Dorothy and keep her legacy out there and they friends I think Halle saw this video.
Sorry Janet already played Dorothy in her music video Twenty Foreplay way before Halle played Dorothy and Janet was always considered to play Dorothy before Halle was famous.
Janet was the 1st artist to mention about portraying her in the 80’s too she brought the attention to Dorothy’s legacy, the only reason Janet never played her in a movie is because Whitney Houston purchased the rights, so Halle played her in an HBO movie. Janet had planned on bringing this to big screen and Janet can Sing so she would have made it much bigger than what Halle did (no shade). Like Diana Ross did with Lady sings the blues. Janet Looks spitting image of Dorothy in her video for “twenty foreplay” and photoshoots she did to honor DD as only JJ can do.
Well Janet and Halle are friends if u didn't know and Janet could play that role plus they offered Janet to play storm but Janet was on her Velvet Rope Tour at the time so she couldn't so Halle did it but Janet was asked first.
Janet was offered to play Dorothy first and have pictures of her dress like Dorothy and her video Twenty Foreplay she portray Dorothy to show her wanting to play Dorothy.
@@jessicafashionlover2148 thank you. Just because Janet was lucky to get the help from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, people want to put her in Michael's category. Michael was a natural.

Halle didn't have to look like her, Jamie Foxx didn't have to look like Ray Charles, but they did the business! True acting is when I don't see the actor, I see the person they portray.
I love when Janet Jackson honors Dorothy Dandridge she making sure Dorothy legacy uplifted.
Janets voice really makes you feel held
I think Janet looks like her.
By the way can we have Janet narrate more videos. Her voice is so pleasant and relaxing to listen to.
@June Giovanna In the last three still photos they show I see a lot of Janet in those pictures.
But she’s completely talentless, right?

Just a beautiful tribute. Thank you, Ms. Jackson. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Janet for introducing us to this Beautiful Actress by the name of Dorothy Dandridge.
Me too, I'm so thankful!
If it wasn’t for duct tape...your brain would fall out of your head.
What a true natural beauty I wish she is truly madly deeply finally in peace 💕

The late, great makeup artist Kevin Aucoin made Janet into a spitting image of Dorothy.
Look for those photographs, if you dare.

Hollywood could not deal with the beautiful black queen that Dorothy was! Continue to sleep in heavenly peace DD😔

What an awesome tribute to a legendary actress who is so underrated and unappreciated.
She was so beautiful ,
I Love?How Janet Honors Dorothy
Janet always talk about how Dorothy inspired her I wish Janet did play Dorothy Dandridge in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge she use to look just like Dorothy back in the day no shade to Halle Berry.
She only looked like her during Different Strokes and Fame days, imo
@@frenchiemoni1665 Yeah she even dressed up like Dorothy at times back then.
@@mr.champagne6208 Not sure if you saw JJ on Love Boat in '84 but she looked so much like her back then it was scary.
@@frenchiemoni1665 Yes I saw that episode she acted just like Dorothy in it.
Well Halle did when the Emmy for play DD so Janet would've had to given a performance at least as award worthy which is a hard thing to predict.
Dorothy Dandridge inspired Janet Jackson a great deal she always use to talk about Dorothy in interviews Janet portrayed Dorothy in her music video Twenty Foreplay Janet use to look like Dorothy when she was young wish Dorothy lived longed enough to meet Janet.
Bright Road is an amazing movie. Positive and powerful.
DOROTHY DANDRIDGE WAS FLAWLESS.
Geez she is breath taking!!!! I hate her life was cut so short. It was so strange I wonder what the heck she saw messing with Preminger. Oh well so sad
Loves it! Great tribute!
Halle Berry Janet Jackson even Jada Pinkett Smith all resemble Dorothy Dandridge
BEAUTIFUL
Nice tribute to a great star
I learned of DD when I was nine. My mother was watching Tamango and she called me in to see her. I was instantly mesmerized and never forgot her.
Her film debut was our gang's beginner luck(1935) at the tender age of twelve.
Thanks that was great 👏🏾
I thought at one time Janet would portray Dorothy in a movie based on her life. That would have been incredible! 😊
And, no offense at all to Halle Berry, but I'm glad that TCM chose Janet Jackson to do this tribute to Dorothy Dandridge.
Dorothy has so many fans.
Miss dandeidge was Beautiful and talented
I Love This
Only one of her.... R.I.P. beautiful heart 🌹
Dorothy Dandridge didn't make many movies one particular favorite film I liked a lot was Carmen Jones
❤️❤️❤️ yessssss
Janet Jackson use to look like Dorothy Dandridge when she was young.
Some would say kerry washington also bears a strong resemblance to dorothy.
Janet is Dorothy Dandridge period
Ummmm yessssss
Vanessa Curry Janet resemble more Dorothy so yea 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@Vanessa Curry Agree
@@tprice2296 Not any more.

She really did sleep on this project. Halle berry, Whitney houston, and Janet Jackson All have rights to different books. But it was Halle that took the initiative and made it come to life.
Janet you do look like Dorothy Dandridge!❤❤❤❤❤
Terry Ellis from En Vogue sings and looks like her!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ok JANET so imma need you To gone head & embrace This jew career as narrator of everything cuz yo voice is PERFECT for it lol I was relaxed & interested all in The same Time
Watch Janet Jackson video Twenty Foreplay where she portray Dorothy Dandridge in the video.
I love that song and video!

@@mixel5103 Yes!!
Janet is Dorthy dandridge reincarnated
No...Dorothy Dandridge actually had talent.
(Fart)
Yes Janet Jackson is Dorothy Dandridge reincarnated like Halle Berry Janet always show her love and admiration for Dorothy Janet Jackson & Halle Berry the only two women who always talk about Dorothy and keep her legacy out there and they friends I think Halle saw this video.
Though,her sister (vivian) had the better body(non-stop curves.dorothy undoubtedly was blessed a flawless face.
unnecessary

That Janet Jackson never played Dorothy Dandridge is a true travesty.
Do you know what the word “tragedy” means?
This is not it.
Bruce Munro haha! Thank you! I meant to say “travesty.” I was tired.
Bruce Munro But I mean, I suppose it is a bit tragic, too.
Not tragic in the slightest.
Bruce Munro wow. You sound like a really fun person. I hope you’re this friendly to everyone you meet.
Dorothy Dandridge died broke
Well, considering she, along with Whitney Houston and Vanessa Williams vied for the role, it was only fitting.
Be real nice if you spelled her name correctly, though.
Her husband stole all her money and left her and she had to take care her severely disabled daughter it was too much for her.

@@mcdonoghrahloh459 Denis Dog !
Halle Berry was the closet thing to Dorothy I can't see Janet playing her Dorothy was sexual appeal
U are very disrespectful and Janet could play her
You can see Janet portray Dorothy many years ago before Halle in her video for "Twenty Foreplay".
@@mrbrownroyyal oh yes that is so true
@@steviebrewton9573 :)
I guess you've never really seen Janet perform because she's always been about sex appeal and true talent
Sorry Janet, nobody else could play Dorothy but Halle Berry.
Sorry Janet already played Dorothy in her music video Twenty Foreplay way before Halle played Dorothy and Janet was always considered to play Dorothy before Halle was famous.
Janet was the 1st artist to mention about portraying her in the 80’s too she brought the attention to Dorothy’s legacy, the only reason Janet never played her in a movie is because Whitney Houston purchased the rights, so Halle played her in an HBO movie.

Bette Davis, Joan Crawford,Barbara Stanwyck,Ava Garner,Marilyn Monroe, to name a few.
Why don’t you feature anyone of them?
why would they
Sorry Janet. Halle did a fantastic job portraying Dorothy. I cannot see Janet's fake self in that role. Halle transformed herself and became Dorothy.
I agree Halle was the closet thing to Dorothy Janet not a great actress halle is
Well Janet and Halle are friends if u didn't know and Janet could play that role plus they offered Janet to play storm but Janet was on her Velvet Rope Tour at the time so she couldn't so Halle did it but Janet was asked first.
Janet was offered to play Dorothy first and have pictures of her dress like Dorothy and her video Twenty Foreplay she portray Dorothy to show her wanting to play Dorothy.
@@jessicafashionlover2148 thank you. Just because Janet was lucky to get the help from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, people want to put her in Michael's category.
Michael was a natural. Janet is limited.I watched her career from day one. I have nothing against her, but if she wasn't Michael's sister, she wouldn't have gotten anywhere.
Looking like Dorothy means nothing. Halle didn't have to look like her, Jamie Foxx didn't have to look like Ray Charles, but they did the business! True acting is when I don't see the actor, I see the person they portray.
Who said she was trying to play Dorothy? She only narrated. Damn y’all hate for no reason
