DESCRIPTION:
"if you like to read fact based stories about movie stars" according to A Customer. The book Dorothy Dandrige is a very deep and interesting story about a young woman who stugggles all through movie her career. The book is very well written and is real in depth about her life. I think that the author realy did a good job writting this book, althogh i wish he would have go more indepth about her life before she was a movie star. I recommed this book to anyone who knows what it is like to struggle in life and did what it takes to over come the struggle.
