Description:
Dorothy Dandridge's life story is the stuff of Hollywood dream -- and nightmares. Completed shortly before her tragic death in 1965, Everything and Nothing is the only book that tells Dandridge's rags-to-riches-to-rags story from her personal point of view. Dandridge not only reveals the disappointments and pain behind her childhood and family life. She also discusses her success and fame in the role of Carmen Jones (for which she became the first woman of color to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Actress), her affair with director Otto Preminger, and her ultimate declaration of bankruptcy. Her death from an apparent drug overdose, just as her star began to rise again from a growing singing career and Mexican movie roles, still arouses debate.
