Black actress Marpessa Dawn with her husband, actor Eric Vander (1960s).♥️Just as Marpessa did, African-American actors often relocated to Europe to escape the racism they faced in the U.S. So grateful for the strides we have made as a country so that people of all races are free to pursue their dreams and love like this, without fear of persecution. What a beautiful pair.

So true!!! There were so many beautiful #blackwomen who were very successful that paved the way for some of the greatest black female entertainers that we have today. So how come it's rare to see a #dorothydandridge #pamgrier #lenahorne #marpessadawn or #dianaross meme or quote on a black female's page, but almost always a #marilynmonroe or #audreyhepburn saying? Sometimes it seems as if some people are either overpraised or not given enough credit. #awkward #confusing #whatdoyouthink
"You have to find someone who is capable of understanding and accepting what you do... and if you have a partner who is not an artist, you must understand they are learning a world that is never going to be their's..." - #GrammyWinner #Singer #Songwriter and #StellaAdler alum, Janis Ian
