Ruby Dee (1922-2014): That Man of Mine (1946) as Joan | St. Louis Blues (1958) as Elizabeth
"Did you like Kara Young's performance in the revival of Purlie Victorious? Well guess who originated the role of Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins?! That's right! Ruby Dee! She was also married to Ossie Davis, who wrote the play and was the original Purlie. The film adaptation (Gone Are The Days!) is on YouTube, starring most of the original cast. While she does not have many musical credits to her name, she is nonetheless iconic." - anonymous
Dolores Gray (1924-2002): It's Always Fair Weather (1955) - Madeline Bradville | Kismet (1955) - Lalume | The Opposite Sex (1956) - Sylvia Fowler | Designing Woman (1957) - Lori Shannon
"a seasoned theater actress and tony winner whose voice was once described by a critic as “a freight-train slathered in honey," dolores gray would deserve movie musical legend status for the looney tunes brilliance of her "thanks a lot but no thanks" number from it's always fair weather alone, but thankfully she graced us with plenty of other fabulous musical numbers as well and has all the swag and style you could want in a diva." - anonymous
