    Extractions: Lena Calhoun Horne was born on June 30, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. In her biography, she stated that on the day she was born, her father was in the midst of a card game trying to get money to pay the hospital costs. Her parents, ultimately, divorced while she was still a toddler. Her mother left later in order to find work in the acting field and Lena was left in the care of her grandparents. When Lena was seven, her mother returned and the two traveled the state where she was enrolled in numerous schools. For a time, Lena was, also, enrolled in schools in Florida, Georgia, and Ohio. Later she was to return to Brooklyn. She quit school when she was 14 and got her first stage job, dancing and later singing at the famed Cotton Club in Harlem when she was 16. The Cotton Club was a theater in which black performers played before white audiences. (The Cotton Club was immortalized in the film of the same name in 1984.) She was in good hands at the club, especially when people such as Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington took her under their wing and helped her over the rough spots in the world of show business. Before long, Lena's singing was playing before packed houses. If Lena Horne had never made a movie, her music career would have been enough to have left her a legend in the entertainment industry, but films were icing on the cake. After a few appearances on Broadway, Hollywood did come calling.

A raging beauty in a racist country, she was known for singing standards in a defiant, borderline angry tone. You can often hear a vinegar sting in Horne's delivery, but that element of her tone has been overstated by critics she can sound like a wounded lamb as well as a snarling lioness. Horne began at the Cotton Club, singing with numerous top Swing bands. While much of her time was wasted on a contract with MGM, she spent decades recording and touring the world with her husband and musical director, Lennie Hayton. Horne made a series of outstanding records on RCA during the 1950s and early '60s, on which she was often backed by the charts of such Cool Jazz modernists as Marty Paich and Shorty Rogers. Horne's recent recordings with Blue Note are well worth hearing and stand up to her best material.

    Extractions: Search Never really a jazz singer, since she does not improvise, Lena Horne is one of the great pop vocalists of all time. Born in Brooklyn in 1917 she quit school when she was 14 and landed her first stage job at age 16, dancing and later singing at the famed Cotton Club in Harlem. During 1935 and 1936 she sang with Noble Sissle's orchestra and made her first recordings with Teddy Wilson in the late 1930s. Her film debut came in 1938 with The Duke is Tops , an independent all-black film. In 1940 Horne joined Charlie Barnet 's orchestra. Barnet was one of the first white bandleaders to hire African-Americans. Horne stayed with Barnet for only a year, however. The problems of traveling in a segregated country proved too much for her. She was unable to stay in the same hotels as the rest of the band, she wasn't allowed to use the dressing rooms at theatres, and she wasn't allowed to sit on stage with the band in between numbers. In 1941 Horne recorded with Artie Shaw and in 1942 became the first African-American to sign a long-term contract with MGM. Moreover, she had a clause in her contract that prevented her from being cast as a domestic or in jungle native roles. Despite such promise her film career never really got off the ground. Aside from the all-black productions

    Extractions: Arts and Entertainment Entertainment Biographies H Lena Horne jazz and pop singer, dancer, and actress Born: Birthplace: Brooklyn, N.Y. She began performing at age six, and by 16 was singing and dancing at Harlem's Cotton Club, where she became an acolyte of Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington. She performed with Noble Sissle's Orchestra and Teddy Wilson's big band. Horne's movie career began in 1938, when she appeared in The Duke Is Tops. She won critical acclaim for her performance in Stormy Weather (1943), and for singing the movie's title song. Although she was the first African-American woman to sign a long-term movie contract with a major studio (MGM), Horne's films were shot so that her scenes could be cut out before been shown in the South. An outspoken foe of discrimination, Horne was blacklisted in the 1950s for condemning racism, as well as for her association with Paul Robeson, a performer with Communist ties.

In conjunction with her club work, she also maintained a recording career that stretched from 1936 to 2000 and brought her three Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1989; she appeared in 16 feature films and several shorts between 1938 and 1978; she performed occasionally on Broadway, including in her own Tony-winning one-woman show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music in 1981-1982; and she sang and acted on radio and television. Adding to the challenge of maintaining such a career was her position as an African-American facing discrimination personally and in her profession during a period of enormous social change in the U.S. Her first job in the 1930s was at the Cotton Club, where blacks could perform, but not be admitted as customers; by 1969, when she acted in the film Death of a Gunfighter, her character's marriage to a white man went unremarked in the script.
