Lena Horne, one of the great jazz singers of all time, has died at age 92. Horne was instrumental in battling racism throughout her career, beginning with her first breakthrough screen role in the 1943 musical Stormy Weather. The title track would become her signature song but her sequences were shot independently from those featuring other actors so the scenes could be cut out of prints being shown in the segregated South. Horne became a civil rights activist and continued to battle for racial equality throughout her life. She was the mother-in-law of acclaimed film director Sidney Lumet, who cast her in a key role in his 1978 screen adaptation of The Wiz. For more click here
