This is a personal observation and has no references/sources. Nowhere else in the article is Miss Dandridge's voice-quality even mentioned. Find a published reliable source that talks about Miss Dandridge's singing voice then the information along with the citation/s could be added to the article.

I don't mind copyediting and other efforts to make that information more fluid, or even a more thorough effort to document Dandridge's involvement in integrating swimming pools (the extent of which I do not know), but I do know that her toe in that pool, which was also drained when Sammy Davis Junior jumped in [1], was a gutsy move at the time (even before Brown v. Board of Education). I thought it more important to include the information in light of it being referenced in social media as a predecessor to Simone Manuel's gold medal for swimming in the Olympics. The swimming achievement is no doubt an important chapter of the story that, if it didn't start with Dorothy Dandridge's toe in the pool, Dandridge's stunt certainly made it quite a bit more likely to happen [2]. -- ke4roh ( talk) 01:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Ken Russell was a director of many documentaries on classical composers for television and film.
His consciousness of what goes on in the industry where classical composers were concerned would be very great.
He was given the task of directing a film on a rock opera and there would have been a consciousness that he was joining an only small number of filmmakers who had attempted the same. One in black casting on his mind would have been
Carmen Jones 1953, originally from the classical
opera. In
Tommy (1975 film), the film to be produced, Russell cast
Tina Turner in the specialist role of the Acid Queen, a nice ball-buster if ever there was one. But Carmen Jones didn't do too badly and director Russell surely, as everyone did, remember her " . .if I love you dat's the end of you!"
The legacy of Dorothy Dandridge begins in the mind of Director Russell in pre-production, in 1974, a mere nine years after her passing, when he tries a contemporaneity of black colored female in a specialist demanding role.

The article says:
"A Los Angeles pathology institute determined that the cause of death was an accidental overdose of the antidepressant imipramine.[2] The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office concluded that she died of a fat embolism resulting from a right foot fracture sustained five days previously.[1]"
How can one die of an accidental overdose AND a fat embolism at the same time? 2600:1700:4260:35D0:BDF6:73D6:5EF9:E140 ( talk) 16:00, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
