Channeling Dorothy Dandridge Photographed by Krisztina Fazekas

Dorothy Dandridge is an icon, the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award (Carmen Jones, 1954). Coming up through the chicken circuit at a time when black actresses were relegated to black films, she refused to be contained. Krisztina (who grew up in Hungary) has always admired Dorothy Dandrige and shot these photos in honor of her spirit - a spirit that lives on today.
