Sinopsis
THE âÈêDEFINITIVEâÈë ( VANITY FAIR ) BIOGRAPHY OF LEGEND LENA HORNEâÈ'THE CELEBRATED STAR OF STAGE, MUSIC, AND FILM WHO BLAZED A TRAIL FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS IN HOLLYWOOD AND BEYOND Drawing on a wealth of unmined material and hundreds of interviewsâÈ' one of them with Lena Horne herselfâÈ'critically acclaimed author James Gavin gives us a âÈêdeftly researchedâÈë ( The Boston Globe ) and authoritative portrait of the American icon. Horne broke down racial barriers in the entertainment industry in the 1940s and âÈç50s even as she was limited mostly to guest singing appearances in splashy Hollywood musicals. Incorporating insights from the likes of Ruby Dee, Tony Bennett, Diahann Carroll, and Bobby Short, Stormy Weather reveals the many faces of this luminous, complex, strong-willed, passionate, even tragic womanâÈ'a stunning talent who inspired such giants as Barbra Streisand, Eartha Kitt, and Aretha Franklin.
