Lena Horne

Lena Mary Calhoun Horne was a singer, dancer, actress and possessed one of the most radiant smiles on Earth until her death in 2010. She refused to compromise her left-leaning, anti-segregation principles for Hollywood or the social norms of the day, choosing instead to make her mark in nightclubs and on television.

I had such a hard time narrowing down the photos to this set. She's stunning in every one. I might have to make another post about her in a couple of months just so I can put up some more.
