Lena Horne was born in Brooklyn New York in
June 30 1917. As a teenager family financial
difficulties forced Lena to quit school and
obtain a position as a chorus dancer at the
Cotton Club in Harlem. She was hired for her
beauty, but she worked diligently to improve
her
singing and became known for her sultry
voice. In 1934, Horne accepted a role on
Broadway and afterwards left to sing with
Noble Sissle's
Society Orchestra in Philadelphia.
Lena Horne left New York to perform at the
Trocadero Club in California. Within a short
time, she signed a Hollywood movie contract
with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She insisted her
contract stipulate that she would not be cast
in stereotypical black roles, and with her
elegance and glamour, she became known for
transforming the image of the black woman in
film.
Her first role in 1942, like many that
followed, was only a guest spot number in
Panama Hattie, but the same year she played a
leading part in
Cabin in the Sky. In 1943 she was in three
films:
I Dood It, Thousands Cheer, and Stormy
Weather, the title song of which became her
trademark. It was on the set of Stormy
Weather. She appeared in Two Girls and a
Sailor (1944), Broadway Rhythm
(1944), Ziegfeld Follies of 1945 and 1946,
The Duchess of Idaho (1950) and Meet Me in
Las Vegas (1956). Lena also starred in the
Broadway show Jamaica (1957) and appeared on
several television shows in the 1970s. Horne
won many honors for her performances. She won
a Grammy for the album based on her
awardwinning
show Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music that
began in 1981 and became the longest running
one-woman show in Broadway history.
In addition to the Kennedy Center Award for
Lifetime Achievement in the Arts (1984),
Horne received an honorary doctorate from
Howard
University as well as an Image Award and
Spingarn Medal from the NAACP.
