Reviews
"Mr. Bogle continues to be our most noted black-cinema historian." SPIKE LEE Praise for Dorothy Dandridge "An ambitious, rigorously researched account of the long-ignored film star and chanteuse . . . [Bogle] has fashioned a resonant history of a bygone era in Hollywood and passionately documented the contribution of one of its most dazzling and complex performers." The New York Times Book Review "Donald Bogle, that pioneering safekeeper of the history of blacks in film, has completed the first definitive biography of Dandridge. Bogle's epic biography depicts all the rich details of Dandridge's life." Vogue Praise for Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks "Bogle is passionate and good-humored. His book is valuable as a film reference work and social document." GENE SISKEL "Far more inclusive and informative than previous books on the subject." The New York Times

Synopsis
Spanning sixty vibrant years, Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams is a deliciously entertaining history of Black Hollywood. Through interviews and the personal recollections of film luminaries, noted film historian Donald Bogle reveals a place both mythic and real, distinct from the studio-system-dominated Tinseltown-a world unto itself, with unique rules, institutions, and personalities. Bogle tells the story of such legends as Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Hattie McDaniel, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, and Sammy Davis Jr., and introduces readers to the stories of lesser-known artists, such as the scandal-plagued heartthrob James Edwards and the enigmatic Madame Sul-Te-Wan. Bogle also shows us other members of the black film community-from the white stars' black servants to gossip columnists and hairstylists-and the world that grew up around them along Central Avenue, the fabled Harlem of the West. Along the way, Bogle re-creates a vanished time that left an indelible mark on Hollywood-and on all of America. Book jacket., In Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams, Donald Bogle tellsfor the first timethe story of a place both mythic and real: Black Hollywood. Spanning sixty years, this deliciously entertaining history uncovers the audacious manner in which many blacks made a place for themselves in an industry that originally had no place for them. Through interviews and the personal recollections of Hollywood luminaries, Bogle pieces together a remarkable history that remains largely obscure to this day. We discover that Black Hollywood was a place distinct from the studio-system-dominated Tinseltowna world unto itself, with unique rules and social hierarchy. It had its own talent scouts and media, its own watering holes, elegant hotels, and fashionable nightspots, and of course its own glamorous and brilliant personalities. Along with famous actors including Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Hattie McDaniel (whose home was among Hollywood's most exquisite), and, later, the stunningly beautiful Lena Horne and the fabulously gifted Sammy Davis, Jr., we meet the likes of heartthrob James Edwards, whose promising career was derailed by whispers of an affair with Lana Turner, and the mysterious Madame Sul-Te-Wan, who shared a close lifelong friendship with pioneering director D. W. Griffith. But Bogle also looks at other members of the black communityfrom the white stars' black servants, who had their own money and prestige, to gossip columnists, hairstylists, and architectsand at the world that grew up around them along Central Avenue, the Harlem of the West. In the tradition of Hortense Powdermaker's classic Hollywood: The Dream Factory and Neal Gabler's An Empire of Their Own, in Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams, Donald Bogle re-creates a vanished world that left an indelible mark on Hollywoodand on all of America. From the Hardcover edition.
