Lena Horne Dead at 92



Lena Horne

Lena Horne died Sunday night at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Her son-in-law, Kevin Buckley, confirmed her death.

Lena was 92.

Lena was gorgeous and talented, but sadly when she was in her prime, racism was rampant and kept her from becoming a major movie star. Horne did do movies, mostly in the 1940′s but only a handful after that. Her real talent was music. She appeared on Broadway often in the 1940′s and recorded music throughout her lifetime. Ms. Horne was also a staunch civil rights activist in in 1960′s.

She was incredibly, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Just checkout these amazing photos. Girlfriend definitely had it going on. R.I.P.

    She was nothing short of amazing! She helped breakthrough so many barriers for women of color who came after her, she leaves great body of work and will be remembered for a very long time.
