“Let me say first that I am not a prude. But I don't approve of the nudity on the screen today. I think a woman is far more attractive in an evening dress, low cut in front so the cleavage shows, low cut in back, fit to her figure but leaving something to the imagination. I've been to colleges and asked young guys about this, and they say the same thing. The imagination is greater than the reality, I think.” - Dorothy Lamour
Dorothy was friends with Dona Drake who was also passing as white and they were in a few movies together, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Dorothy was a little black.
Yes, I believe she was Creole as well. However, I believe she falls under the original definition of Louisiana Creole.. which is a person of French and or Spanish descent. Creole is derived from the word "criollo", which means native or local, and is meant to be a class distinction. I think it's the Spanish we are seeing. I'm mixed myself, and that's my hunch, but anything is possible.
In her color pictures. You can clearly see that she had some Black ancestry. And genetic testing in the 90s was done on hundreds of Louisianians who identified as White. ALL came back with Black ancestry.
The blonde interviewer is Rona Barrett, who deserves a video of her own. Hollywood stars were much more alluring back when they didn’t have surgery to look like each other.

My family left Haiti (came from France) and went to Jamaica, while others ventured to Louisiana; we have similar bloodlines and there are somewhat similarities (not that I look anywhere like her!). Just the overall vibe of racial ambiguity. I have naturally frizzy/kinky hair, an olive complexion, we have a similar face shape ((probably not relevant?), my lips are more full though. People often ask me, "what are you?".. bizarrely. I'm Jamaican (Creole), first and foremost.. Ethnicity-wise, I'm French, Spanish, African, and some other European ethnicities.
Hi, I happen to read a novel about creoles. There were three distinction of creoles. One is the french/Spanish, 2nd African, Spanish/French, 3rd is the Asian, French Creoles. I was surprise about this distinctions that they didn't know about then. This was way back when I was in my 20's and now I am 63. I haven't across anyone else speaking of it.
She was also from Louisiana. You have to understand you have a lot of people from Louisiana that were black that passed for white to get out of the situation that was caused in Louisiana and in other places speech
"Creole" originally referred to the descendants of Europeans colonists who had been born in the colony in Louisiana the term "creole" used in the late 1700s to represent descendants of African , mixed race people as well people of french and Spanish descent with no racial Mixing I wish you all a nice day
Understandable, but consider the notion that there are several definitions of the term, "creole/Creole" due to shifts and changes in history. Having said that, Karine's video addresses the "mixed" and multi-racial sense of the word.
I loved the Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, and Bob Hope comedy Road pictures and always suspected that Dorothy was Hispanic. I also read that 1930s screen legend Kay Francis, the strikingly tall actress with a dark olive complexion, and a lisp may have been part black as well. I hope you devote a bio to her also.
She definitely gives me creole. I definitely think there is some black in her somewhere. Very Tina Knowles(ish). Definitely not white. Or a white woman passing as black. Her features are too strong.
If the majority of your DNA is white, then are you passing for white? ...but rather passing for a black person passing for white. The one drop rule doesn't work for me. If you look more like American of primarily European descent, rather than of African descent, then you are that. I am puzzled why everyone wants to throw every one into the black ethnicity, since there is only one race - human! Only with ethnicity are people to go against the majority of your makeup if a small percentage is African. This makes no sense. I wonder why black people want to claim everyone.
@pagemastrogiovanni9195 Please repeat this! I don't get it. It's some sort of psychological disorder. Every person with some African ancestry is not Black. It's not fair to actual phenotypically Black people and the mixed race person who has other ancestry.
thanks for this info on Dorothy. I do a lot of sewing and have some knowledge of vintage fashion. Just wanted to let you know that a sarong is not a beach towel, though it made me laugh when you said that. It is actually a piece of cloth draped and sometimes sewn into skirt form (not towelling) 😄
The sarong is the national dress of Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. Dorothy was Caucasian with lovely long Hawaiian-style hair. She was gorgeous and we watched all the road films when we were little. Great films. These days actresses with long hair are first in the queue for parts in historical films. 😅😅
I'm so happy you did a documentary on Her. Could you, also do one on the troubled, yet wonderful, Jean-Michel Basquiat! As soon as possible please, because as your fellow Haitian, his art is rather very interesting, yet beautiful, he's one of the greatest artists of all time, and my very favourite. C'était aussi très intrigant. Je pense que vous êtes probablement l'un des meilleurs conteurs. Happy holidays from your Aruban supporter and Greetings from the UK! 🤎🙌
My late mom stated she recalled as a child, seeing Dorothy in Marshall Field's when she was an elevator operator in Chicago. I really liked "The Hurricane". I never heard rumors she might be mixed race. Who knows. I never knew she was part Spanish. She does look a little Asian.
Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was buried and that he rose Again the third day praise God praying for everyone Everyday God bless you all....
When people come into comment sections and start preaching instead of talking about the subject matter, I'm sorry, but it doesn't make anyone look good...
I'm Catholic. I go to church at least once a week. You're embarrassing and awkward. You're not trying to make this about God. You're making it about you and you're an extreme narcissistic troll. You're not making people want to be Christian. Do you understand that? You're making all of us look annoying and selfish.
@@JennWatsonAs a Christian I apologize on her behalf. This person probably isn't even Christian. It's probably just a troll. Most of don't act like this. Have a good night.
Im not really a fan of the actress but after watching this i will look for her movies. She was so beautiful and not probelmatic. She was truly blessed to have a good support system which prevented her from falling into the Hollywood curse of drug, alcohol and excess. ❤
Creole originally meant New World-born French. Thus, the future. Empress of the French, Josephine de Beauharnais, the daughter of a slave owning family, was also called 'Creole.'
I feel like Hover & Dorothy were just really good friends Y didnt the 2 just marry if they were really involved. Mayb they shared the fact that there was a question of their ethnicity I dont believe Dorothy was black. If she was the percentage was so negligible it wouldn't be worth mentioning U do know other ethnicities exist that have a dark complexion with dark, curly, & wavy hair. Anyway this was an interesting story. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, can you do a video on Chuck Woolery who had died previously. I heard by reading an article they found he had black blood in him. He was kind oscatrized for his ethinicity.
Thank you so much Karine for your in-depth biography of Dorothy Lamour!!❣❣ I have long loved and admired Dorothy Lamour😍🤩🥰 I loved her exotic looks, including the sarong looks. I used to think she was Italian, like me. She might have Irish roots, as I have. I'm a bit surprised of her being critical of herself, yet we all are, so it's not so surprising afterall. What was surprising was those rubber shoes she had made. I don't know if it helped or if it was worth it? It is unfortunate and unfair how powerheads in Hollywood treated women. I'm glad God guided her by the hand, as she stated. I can understand her referring to her dog as her boyfriend. Dogs are the closest thing to God. No man/woman has the same unconditional love as a dog has. There is never any judgments only love for each other.
The woman is from Louisiana, see myself is it from Louisiana is a hint because what most white people don’t know that Black people know is that they were a lot of women running around in Louisiana that word had black ancestry. I did not look like Black people
Look at all the people that we are finding out from old Hollywood that had black ancestry. Dona Drake may west I always looked at Dorothy Lemoore and said yeah she could be creole. How come we as black women and Black people she the black and other people and y’all just don’t understand and for me there’s a lot of probably other people who passed as white in Hollywood I feel like another one is yvonnede Carlo

She definitely looks Mediterranean to me. Alot of people get mistaken for being biracial who family descends from nations along the Mediterranean. You can tell she is French too possibly Italian which wasn't considered white in her day which would be why she seemed to not speak of her dad's ethnicity.
I don't think she was completely black I think that she was mixed race she has a very interesting story I believe her last name is of French or Creole descent this is the first time I've heard of her 😉
For me the rubber feet was the weirdest. As far as her calling her dog her boyfriend it shows she wasnt ready to be with anyone just yet. Thats just my take. Thanks so much. ✨️Sending🌬 ❤☮️& good vibes only!✨️ X💋
Has anyone considered that her mother dated him and that the Moore's father was actually Hoover? And yes he was gay they blackmailed him with photos of him giving somebody a b****** I forget who and yeah that guy was definitely his lover it's pretty much documented now God bless love Dorothy and all those road movies❤❤❤❤
Big surprise there's no evidence to prove what happened with the FBI guys, I guess if anyone could get any and all evidence destroyed it would be these FBI heads/directors. And Dorothy survived these guys just shows she was smart, charming and kind and caring. Thanks Karine!
Having Louisiana Creole roots , I know a Creole when I see one. She was typical of creoles who moved to Texas and California to pass. She’s up here looking like the singer Chante Moore and dancer Carmen de Lavallade, both of Louisiana Creole legacy.
When I look at the beautiful starlets of yesteryear in old Hollywood it looks like the Caucasian women were mixed with another ethnicity..Either, black, Asian, Creole, Indian etc..
As a woman you deal with getting old the same way in the regular world as in hollyweird and I believe it's because of the way women age we don't all age gracefully like men do.
America is a melting pot! Dark exotic chocolate mixed with luscious vanilla yields irresistible milk chocolate! Let's transcend the racism. America is great because you can marry and love/protect who you want. The freedoms of this country have attracted the citizens of the world and nurtured prosperity. Creativity is tops! And let's not forget that Hollywood was a business. 9 out of 10 movies lose money, so the studios really had to pay attention to their paying customers or close their doors.
Girl I'm glad you're talking better!!! Instead of sounding like your pinching your nose as you talk!!! You could still do better!!!! You're still slugging some words!!!
Definitely creole. The black white kind. If I imagine her today she would have some braids and you would see it better. They slicked those edges back then 😂. She is black French and Spanish. Creole just like my baby daddy whose folks is from Feriday- outside of Baton Rouge
What is her hair being long have to do with her not being real there’s a lot of creole people with long hair because they have white ancestry. Are you stupid?😊
My hair, grown from my scalp, is past my buttocks, I sit on my hair if I don't pull it up and roll it in a bun, and I am a deep black complexion. Black women have long hair. 🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
@ having a black complexion and being black are not the same. Black is term to describe African American women. This women imo is mixed race. I do not believe she was mulatto maybe creole as someone else said but even then she doesn’t give me creole at all more Spanish
If the majority of your DNA is white, then are you passing for white? ...but rather passing for a black person passing for white. The one drop rule doesn't work for me. If you look more like an American of primarily European descent, rather than of African descent, then you are that. I am puzzled why everyone wants to throw every one into the black ethnicity, since there is only one race - human! Only with ethnicity are people quick to go against the majority of your makeup if a small percentage of it is African. This makes no sense. There are Grand Wizards of the KKK with 12% African ancestry but they are definitely considered white. I wonder why black people want to claim everyone. I as an American (black) don’t need everyone to be a part of the same ethnicity to know my worth or my intricate history in America. My grandfather looked exactly his father, a white doctor, and his mom was a mixed woman. Although he was one of those kind of people like Angela Davis in that he clung to being black, though everyone outside the family seeing him assumed he was white. In my mind he was white in a black family. I believe white people can have black children and black people can have white children. Since we are all children of Adam and Eve, we are all of the same race - human; however, we do come from different tribes, cultures, and phenotypically look different.
Even understand what you’re saying vacuum Dorothy LaMorris day your standards didn’t matter. If you have one drop of black bloods you were black it didn’t matter what you look like and that’s the fact of the matter you can try to change it to green to blue with red and polkadots but it’s not gonna change the way people thought back then.
Not something Black people wanted to claim for everyone this is something that was stamped on Black people when people fell it done them the most good and discredit it black blood the black drop one drop was the road met you were black or you were inferior now people want to change that and make it seem like as if Black people wanna claim everything is black and everyone is black if they have a little African-American or black blood or African blood. Most people just nowadays go with the narrative that was already said that if you have one drop of black blood, you are black and most people whether KKK at 12% African-American or black blood or not, will not claim that black blood . So it’s not something again that we are just going around saying and just running towards so excitingly it’s something that was already pinned on us and given it was a narrative already wrote a set already placed upon African-Americans or black. If you wanna call it that and now it’s just been accepted that way. But now it seems that there are a lot of people that want to get upset at the narrative that’s been created by the narration and narrator now that people is actually going by what they’ve been told to accept and believe. And you’re right about that because just because someone is 27 or 30% or even 47% white or European doesn’t make them white if they are African-American specially with people like myself when going through 23 and me and finding out different things about my family and my ancestry got a lot of different mix of things in there but I’m still gonna be called black when it’s all said and done😊 African-American or islander, whichever one you wanna call
A bit tacky ? What do we feel about her calling her dog her boyfriend ?! What are u implying ?! Low A lit if people call their pets their babies little man/girl best friend lived of their life partner etc Not sure what your implying adking peopke to comment on her endearment for her dog Shame in you Is it for click bait?!

She did so well for entering and leaving Hollywood. I’m so happy that she had a supportive family.
She reminds me so much of the model Pat Cleveland who although is biracial black could pass and looks very exotic too.

My mom looked creole . Spanish ,black , Caribbean, she was taken for all of the above . She was 100% Irish . Iberian and North African dna was found .
So she was black
Ever heard of the Black Irish? Black Welsh? Supposedly they have Moorish descent. Just like Spaniards. Black blood!
She was Creole and made it work for her
Tysmfs. This was an awesome video!

America is a melting pot! Dark exotic chocolate mixed with luscious vanilla yields irresistible milk chocolate! Let's transcend the racism. America is great because you can marry and love/protect who you want. The freedoms of this country have attracted the citizens of the world and nurtured prosperity. Creativity is tops! And let's not forget that Hollywood was a business. 9 out of 10 movies lose money, so the studios really had to pay attention to their paying customers or close their doors.
Doesn't matter. She's beautiful.💃🏻
We all know that in hindsight, but this is a video that discusses issues of race and passing... 🤨so why are you even here?
Girl I'm glad you're talking better!!!
Instead of sounding like your pinching your nose as you talk!!!
You could still do better!!!!
You're still slugging some words!!!
Always thought Beyoncé looks like Lana Turner. The face similarity is uncanny.
I always thought Beyonce looked like Lana Turner. Even as a child in the 50s watching her movies, Lana never looked all that white to me.
J Hoover gave gays a bad name
Definitely creole. The black white kind. If I imagine her today she would have some braids and you would see it better. They slicked those edges back then 😂. She is black French and Spanish. Creole just like my baby daddy whose folks is from Feriday- outside of Baton Rouge
10:20-10:25: IDK, IDC (Acts 10:34, 35; Romans 2:11).
If she was from New Orleans she’s probably creole or white
My cat chubby is my boyfriend😊
What does she was his beard?
Why do you keep calling mixed women black?
Her skin is white and her hair is brown, just like trillions of people. She's not black. It's so silly, trying to say everyone is black 😂😂😂
idk even if creole her hair was really long! so im on the fence about her being black
What is her hair being long have to do with her not being real there’s a lot of creole people with long hair because they have white ancestry. Are you stupid?😊
My hair, grown from my scalp, is past my buttocks, I sit on my hair if I don't pull it up and roll it in a bun, and I am a deep black complexion. Black women have long hair. 🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
@ having a black complexion and being black are not the same. Black is term to describe African American women. This women imo is mixed race. I do not believe she was mulatto maybe creole as someone else said but even then she doesn’t give me creole at all more Spanish
I think she definitely has Arabic or Indian in her somewhere.
She favor Nina Mae
You raised the issue was she black; however, the video provided no answer.
If the majority of your DNA is white, then are you passing for white? ...but rather passing for a black person passing for white.
The one drop rule doesn't work for me.
If you look more like an American of primarily European descent, rather than of African descent, then you are that. I am puzzled why everyone wants to throw every one into the black ethnicity, since there is only one race - human!
Only with ethnicity are people quick to go against the majority of your makeup if a small percentage of it is African. This makes no sense. There are Grand Wizards of the KKK with 12% African ancestry but they are definitely considered white.
I wonder why black people want to claim everyone.
I as an American (black) don’t need everyone to be a part of the same ethnicity to know my worth or my intricate history in America.
My grandfather looked exactly his father, a white doctor, and his mom was a mixed woman. Although he was one of those kind of people like Angela Davis in that he clung to being black, though everyone outside the family seeing him assumed he was white. In my mind he was white in a black family. I believe white people can have black children and black people can have white children. Since we are all children of Adam and Eve, we are all of the same race - human; however, we do come from different tribes, cultures, and phenotypically look different.
Even understand what you’re saying vacuum Dorothy LaMorris day your standards didn’t matter. If you have one drop of black bloods you were black it didn’t matter what you look like and that’s the fact of the matter you can try to change it to green to blue with red and polkadots but it’s not gonna change the way people thought back then.
If you don’t even understand that this, law was not created by Black people
Not something Black people wanted to claim for everyone this is something that was stamped on Black people when people fell it done them the most good and discredit it black blood the black drop one drop was the road met you were black or you were inferior now people want to change that and make it seem like as if Black people wanna claim everything is black and everyone is black if they have a little African-American or black blood or African blood.
Most people just nowadays go with the narrative that was already said that if you have one drop of black blood, you are black and most people whether KKK at 12% African-American or black blood or not, will not claim that black blood .
So it’s not something again that we are just going around saying and just running towards so excitingly it’s something that was already pinned on us and given it was a narrative already wrote a set already placed upon African-Americans or black. If you wanna call it that and now it’s just been accepted that way.
But now it seems that there are a lot of people that want to get upset at the narrative that’s been created by the narration and narrator now that people is actually going by what they’ve been told to accept and believe.
And you’re right about that because just because someone is 27 or 30% or even 47% white or European doesn’t make them white if they are African-American specially with people like myself when going through 23 and me and finding out different things about my family and my ancestry got a lot of different mix of things in there but I’m still gonna be called black when it’s all said and done😊 African-American or islander, whichever one you wanna call
Oh well sorry!
The Supreme Court set the one drop rule! Those white old men were just more white supremists.
Hummmm, not Black
Your background music is not necessary
I never saw a black woman looking like that ,she was a white woman
YOU ARE WRONG! BLACK WOMEN HAVE ALL LOOKS!
