Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."

It’s that time of year when late summer starts to slide into early fall and a little bit of powder fever picks up as well. For me, it was always the combination of Labor Day sales on last season’s gear and the knowledge of a new Warren Miller film I’d be popping into my calendar that got the juices flowing. Sure, actual winter storms and enough snow to fire up more than two lifts around Tahoe were still months away, but for me, the drop of a new ski and snowboard flick marked the real beginning of a new season.
