In the 1980s Lena Legend made a great comeback and got the big payback for all her years of professional & personal struggles. Below she became one of the Kennedy Center 1984 awardees for her stand out career & great social strides. Awards as such helped to cement her role as one of greatest & most inspirational figures in America's cultural history! Photo Credit-Diana Walker

Look at Ms. Horne. Just as fly as she wants to be in her 80s.

she's such a beautiful lady...

You know I didn't really notice it until author Donald Bogle said it,but that in the history of show-business no woman has ever looked quite like her...and its so true! I really can't say that for any if any beauties. Anyhow I think thats why its been so hard to find someone suitable enough to play her.
