I just made a video of photos dedicated to classic black beauties of stage and screen ranging from the 1920's to 1950's, the unsung and legendary. Most of the women are unsung and mostly forgotten though they contributed talent and beauty to the entertainment industry and helped in opening the doors. I hope the video will spark interest in people to seek their work out. Some of the women in the video was in Cabin In The Sky and Stormy Weather as dancers and extras in the nightclub scene. I really hope you like.

I will also be doing a video and adding clips of classic black performers. I will also be doing a video of photos dedicated to the famous Cotton Club chorus girls and of other Harlem chorus lines.

I can only imagine what a herculean task it must have been to research the data and to locate photos and identify their names.
Yikes, I only recognized 9 on your list. How sad the majority did not gain fame like some did.
