Dorothy Dandridge in 1958’s Tamango. She was paid $125,000 + $500 a week for living expenses, her own hair stylist at the expense of the studio, and a chauffeured limo for the twelve weeks she spent in France making this film. At the time, Dottie was the most popular American star in Europe. In this film, Dottie played the role of an African slave who was half black and half white, who was loved by the white slave ship captain (played by Curt Jürgens). There were two versions of Tamango made because of the love scenes. One was to be released in the US, and the other was released everywhere else. This was because the Motion Picture Producers Association did not approve of any intimate or physical contact between blacks and whites.

Please just stay a little longer with me under the blankets.

If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn't win come the end of the week, this won't be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.

Help one another. That's the best way we can move forward and make change in the future.

The way you love me helps me love myself.

If you want a woman to desire you, it won’t be just through words and touch. You need to cultivate trust. If she trusts you, not only will she bare her body, she will bare her soul to you.
