Carmen Jones (Dorothy Dandridge)
has anyone seen a movie called Carmen Jones? In my social studies class I have to make a stamp on this lady called Dorothy Dandridge, for black history month. I have no idea what to do for the stamp, so please give me ideas. But like she was famous because she was the first African American to be nominated for the Academy Award in the Best Actress category and the third African American to receive a nomination in any category overall (after Hattie McDaniel and Ethel Waters). And she was nominated for her movie called Carmen Jones.. would it be okay if I watched the film? I'm 13 years old, and Im not sure if it will be like.. not for my age. Or, just give me a review on the movie, and like important things involving Dorothy's character in the movie.. so maybe i can represent the movie in the stamp I have to draw. (BTW: the stamp is like.. a whole page big, not some tiny stamp..though hopefully that was obvious) and well.. yeah. I'll give additional information if you need any more to answer this.
In short, i'm asking what the movie carmen jones is about, how it relates to Dorothy Dandridge and such, how her character in the movie is represented as.. and all that jazz. Also, I'm asking for really creative ideas that I can make for my poster. And I cant draw Dorothy in the stamp, so I need things that like.. represent her.
THANKYOU.. ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you have seen carmen in which beyonce' played in it is the same movie accept in the end Dorothy Dandridge's lover(harry belofonte') kills her for leaving him. It is the exact sme story line it is just small diff. deatails but i'll run through them. She was in love with an army guy and he got into a scuffle and killed his superior officer over her because in a way she taunted him and pushed him to. Then because of that he was wanted so they had to leave town together. Before all of this she had just met this big time boxer who promised her all these lavish things just like the rapper promised beyonce' but she was waitning on her army guy so she couldn't accept it. When they got there she was with her best friend and she would go out and leave him in the house because he couldn't go out 'cause he was hot. She begin to see the boxer fellow and she begin to be bored with him because he couldn't do anything so she decided she was going to leave him for the boxer. One night she got all dressed up and went to see his boxing match and he came to find her and he said either you leave with me or i'll kill you. and he strangled her to death for being a hussy. She also performed oprah or hopra however you spell it. She was glamorous; the beyonce' for that time. If you haven't seen the movie imagine beyonce' in that pepsi commericial singing hoprah that was based on her too where she had on the black top and red skirt. If you need to know anything specific just send me a message oor look it up on the internet.
