Introducing Dorothy Dandridge Reviews and Ratings



  • August 31, 2009
    pretty much seen it.
  • July 24, 2009
    Good made-for-cable biopic with a very strong lead in Halle Berry. Dorothy Dandridge wanted to be her own, strong person but had a blind spot for the men in her life. She was ill-suited to first husband Harold Nicholas, who had no patience for her fragile sexuality and while the ...( read more)affair with Otto Preminger during "Carmen" temporarily made her strong, she crashed abruptly when he dumped her at the film's end. Her push for equal rights as a lady of color is humiliating to watch. Sad story of a talented, beautiful woman who was eventually swallowed up by the system.

    Halle Berry plays singer/actress Dorothy Dandridge. Dandridge was the first African-American actress to be nominated for Best Actress. Berry gives an awesome performance as the troubled star. Brent Spiner is also wonderful as her caring and soft hearted agent.

    no thanks not my thing
  • December 4, 2008
    The acting could've been better here and there but I like the story overall and as an African-American woman, I can relate in some areas.

    halle berry beat whitney houston and janet jackson to the punch by playing dandridge in the well-done made for cable film. although she didn't do her own singing, berry acts and dances up a storm as the beautiful, tragic actress.

    Halle Berry is terrific in the bio film about the life of Dorothy Dandridge. It has a great cast, interesting story and the question is how did she die?
  • January 30, 2008
    Anyone who thinks that Halle Berry can't act only has to see this film. She is terrific in this biopic on the life of actress Dorothy Dandridge, who became the first African-Amercian woman to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for the film 'Carmen Jones". While the film i...( read more)tself is pretty much your standard bio film but it has enough strong powerful moments that make it than most in the genre. The supporting cast were good, the script is nicely written and the direction is solid.

    It is so sad about her!
  • April 2, 2007
    Halle really was born for this role. Yes she resembles Dorothy, has her mannerisms, and is just as beautiful. But ALSO, the more I learn of Halle personally, the more I see Dottie in her......for various reasons.....the similarities and histories, said and unsaid, are interesting!
  • April 2, 2007
    I REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE. I FELT THAT HALLE BEERY REALLY DID HER THING IN THIS MOVIE AND THE DOROTHY DANDRIGE WOULD BE VERY PROUD..

    Berry was excellent.
  • March 1, 2007
    Halle made me belive she was Dororthy Dandrige
  • March 1, 2007
    Halle Berry should have got an Oscar for this movie instead of that trash she did get an Oscar for.
  • February 25, 2007
    HALLE DID AN AWSOME JOB
  • February 11, 2007
    Fantasic performance by Berry but other than that, the film is sub-standard. Maybe my review is biased since I dislike TV movies but "Introducing DD" at times is unexciting and drawn out. It's a funny coincidence how Halle Berry potrayed the first African-American woman to get an...( read more) Academy Award nomination for Best Actress when years later she'd be known as the first African-American woman to get an Academy Award win for Best Actress.
  • February 9, 2007
    This is where her Oscar SHOULD have been recieved...Bitches
