Fun fact: She was considered an icon in the gay community in the 1950s and 1960s. Her death and the loss of that emotional icon in 1969 has been thought to be a contributing factor to the feeling of the passing of an era that helped spark the Stonewall Riots that began the modern gay rights advocacy movement.

I def agree with the women you posted! obviously the sadly v few beautiful and talented black Old Hollywood actresses (eg Dorothy, Lena, Hilda Simms, Fredi Washington, Theresa Harris, Nina Mae McKinney, etc) are not 'lauded' as the many many white actresses. i haven't included any yet because i'm just going off a list of the most popular, rather than my personal taste or opinions etc, but i'll deviate from the list now and again to add some colour
