Lena Horne

Tells the inspiring story of how six iconic African American female entertainers – Lena Horne, Abbey Lincoln, Nina Simone, Diahann Carroll, Cicely Tyson and Pam Grier – challenged an entertainment industry deeply complicit in perpetuating racist stereotypes, and transformed themselves and their audiences in the process.

Explore the dramatic career and personal struggles of the talented and tragically short-lived entertainer Judy Garland through rare concert footage, never-heard-before voice recordings and personal photos.

In 1936, Victor H. Green (1892-1960) published The Negro Motorist Green Book, a book that was both a travel guide and a survival manual, to help African-Americans navigate safe those regions of the United States where segregation and Jim Crow laws were disgracefully applied.

Despite the many curious similarities between Susan Hayward and Lena Horne-both were born in Brooklyn on exactly the same day, for example-one detail set their careers on very different paths. This doc examines their parallel lives.

Here's a perfect chance to compare and contrast a clutch of the greatest jazz divas in the history of the genre. "Sassy" Sarah Vaughan appears along with her fellow pop-jazz queens, sultry Lena Horne, Ella "The First Lady of Song" Fitzgerald, gorgeous Dorothy Dandridge and Billie "Lady Day" Holiday. Rarely has there been more outstanding vocal talent compiled on a single disc.

Two nights after the September 16 & 17th Carnegie Hall Blue Note performances, Lena performed the same show at a more intimate venue -- New York's Supper Club -- on September 19, 1994 and accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra directed by Frank Foster. It was the the Carnegie Hall magic all over again and this time we had a camera crew to capture the entire event -- available now for the first time on this DVD. The repertoire is mostly from the We'll Be Together Again album, with the special bonus of the newly-constituted Basie band. This was to be Lena's final concert performance and in every respect it's a stunning summation to a most extraordinary career.

Judy performs beloved musical numbers with Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, and more in this series of classic duets from The Judy Garland Show.
