I haven't posted much here. But I've read over some of the post and would like to comment and would like your views. First, as rkoboy said people can write all...
Also I'm working on a book, that I think you all will enjoy. It's going be a book on beautiful, talented Black women who for some reason were forgotten by...
... SA There seems to be little doubt that Ms Horne was bi-sexual. In my youth there was an LP live from an hotel on which she sang 'Old Fasnioned Tango??" She...
Well, she liked men and women then. So that is bisexual, or did she just date men to cover up her liking women. This is a big blow to me to hear she may have...
Not bisexual, lesbian. Lena is not into both men and women, where did you get that from? She never dated men. Her two marriages were not based on love or sex....
A few cents on Tallulah since I have a few books out. I will be back after I have re-written what I planned to post on other subjects... Bankhead was a...
You may expand, expound, and elongate as you will about Lena Horne's sexuality, but what you have offered is gross speculation at best and something that...
Well, I respect Lena. You all may be right. But because she didn't go sleeping around with every Tom, Dick and Harry isn't a MAIN clue she was a Lesbian. So...
And also carlop, excuse me for not being into her sexual life the way you are. I don't know who's she slept with and don't really care. But as I said no one...
I am not going to re-write again because of what has been posted today, but let me add that this information has been on other msg boards and is hardly new....
This is in response to Savannah_Allen's message about something negative written about Lena's singing on a Black website. In my opinion, there are two issues...
That some of the homophobia that has come out in this group is very nasty. The kind of ignorance displayed amazes me. Carlop's last post used some uncalled for...
I had no idea that the minute the dreaded L Word was used some people would get all flustered. I will settle for the more acceptable B Word, Bisexual, so no...
If I may change the subject for a moment I'd like to bring up the tour of the show The Lady & Her Music. The show ran in New York for a little over a year,...
The initial engagement in Dallas was canceled by Horne. A local Dallas black activist had raised a storm about the raised ticket prices which were only for the...
Thank you for your sane answer to my question! A first night benefit would naturally charge prices more than the normal price...was this in 1982 or later, in...
BACKGROUND - I first saw the show closing night (her 65th birthday) on Broadway June 30, 1982. Saw it again in Houston and was introduced to her backstage...
AND THE SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME IN DALLAS... A CITY COUNCIL WOMAN BY THE NAME OF ELSIE FAE HEGGINS CAUSED A RUCKAS IN DALLAS ABOUT THOSE DANG TICKETS...I...
Thanks for the info! 419 performances, that's a lot, I understand why she did not want to tour. Can I assume that you, and Ken too, saw the show when it was ...
One more thing I should add, I saw Betty (Lauren) Bacall in both "Applause" in 1970 and "Woman of the Year" in 1982, only once and loved her, especially...
i saw the show in dallas at the music hall on the grounds of the texas state fair in oct of 1983..i still have the playbill and it was an excellent show, lena...
I did see the Dallas tour stop twice at the State Fair Auditorium in October. The cancelled earlier engagement would have been at the downtown Majestic...
Just before Christmas, when I was sick, I saw Lena Horne on what I believe was a "Word of Mouth" on Turner Classic Movies. Did anyone else see it or has...
swimming56, My aunt was in Show Business from the late 1920s to late 1950s, she worked, collaborated, and had friendships with a lot of the black stars. The...
How unlucky the trouble in Dallas was if the Houston run turned out to be several months before what turned out to be the Dallas engagement. I am surprised...
I agree that the movie Janet Jackson is doing will not have very much to do with the real Lena Horne. It will take a lot of gall on Janet's part for her to...
