Book Reviews of Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams: The Story of Black Hollywood
Book Review: Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely loved this book! It brings to life a part of Hollywood history too often ignored. Of course I knew of Dorothy Dandridge and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, but there were so many other Black actors and actresses I'd never heard of before, and it was a pleasure to hear the stories of their struggles and triumphs in an all too bigoted era (20's to 50's). Having read other books by Donald Bogle, I look forward to his next (if any)one. He's always informative, humourous and seems to have a real affection for his subject.
