Ms. Lena Horne, a true star, a diva, GORGEOUS, sexy, GLAMOROUS (the true kind we rarely see anymore), classy, passionate, REAL, ACCESSIBLE, divinely gifted and inspired, SAVVY. I am both sad and inspired that she has left such a legacy to fulfill and promote. All the more reason to persevere for the highest quality of our art. We owe it to ALL the Lena Hornes, Dorothy Dandridges, Nina Mae McKinneys, Fredi Washingtons, Ruby Dees and Diahann Carroll to set a high standard of excellence and accountability. I only pray that we don't commercialize and trivialize this woman's powerful story when it's told onscreen (and it will!) by casting some musical celebrity with a name but no legitimate training and skill to inhabit her being! God bless her soul and spirit! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Selah.
