| Ingrid Bergman & Gary Cooper in For Whom The Bell Tolls (Sam Wood, 1943) |
Artist of the Year : Lena Horne
Born in Brooklyn but raised mainly in Pennsylvania and
Georgia, Lena Horne made at 16 her debut on stage as chorus girl at the Cotton
Club where she performed until she joined Noble Sissle's Orchestra with
which she made her first recording. She toured with Charlie Barnet but left soon to work at the Café Society in New York before being hired
by the MGM Studios in Hollywood. She featured since 1943 in some
musicals, making a resounding appearance in Stormy Weather, a movie
showcasing, for the first time in Hollywood, several African American
Musicians
With her cover of Stormy Weather, a hit
originally performed in 1933 by Ethel Waters, Lena Horne makes a breakthrough
in Hollywood although she is a black actress.
