About the Book

The autobiography of Dorothy Dandridge, Hollywood's first Black sex symbol and first Black best actress Oscar-nominee, examines her early life, slow rise to stardom, and swift decline. The book was completed shortly after her tragic death at the age of 42 in 1965 of a drug overdose.

Dorothy Dandridge's life story is the stuff Hollywood dreams--and nightmares. Everything and Nothing recounts her rags-to-riches-to-rags story form her personal point of view. Dandridge recalls her humble beginnings in Depression-era Cleveland, Ohio, her rise to fame and success as the first African American to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination (for her role in Carmen Jones), the disappointments and pain of her childhood and family life, and her downward spiral into alcoholism and financial troubles, Everything and Nothing is a mesmerizing and harrowing journey through the life and times of one of Hollywood's most unforgettable stars.
