You're Dead to Me · Lena Horne: racism and resilience in the Golden Age of Hollywood · 20 Feb 2026 podcast

It was thinking about moving black rights, black employment, black education forwards.

Yeah.

So by this point, she and Lenny have separated because she was just less interested in her music career and more involved in political activism.

Well, sometimes it's nice that it goes that way for them.

So they separate and then her father and her son both pass away within six months of each other.

Her son Teddy and Edwin both pass in very close proximity and she'd really felt she'd only reconnected with them as they were adults before.

Obviously she didn't see her son very much when he was a child and it's only during her success at MGM that she's able to bring him into her lifestyle because she has the money to offer him the kind of education that his father wanted him to have.

So yeah, this is a really difficult time and she is in a big transitionary phase having done her film.

She's recovered partially through television and through her touring and is now kind of at a juncture of doing something new.

So the...

Appearance on The Wiz is really symbolic because she has transitioned into being essentially an industry veteran and she gets to basically sing a song that Diana Ross has just performed and we have a kind of classic version and then we have this blues gospel reworking of it specifically for her and that throws out what she sounded like at MGM and completely reforms her sound.

As a result, she starts working live again.

And she has a one-woman show called The Lady and Her Music, which opens in 1981 and runs on Broadway for a year.

She has some time in Las Vegas as well.

And from that, she wins a special Tony Award.

That is a speech worth watching if anyone has five minutes.

And she wins two Grammys.

And in this moment, she really moves from interpreting music by other people, kind of being told where to stand and what to sing, to becoming Lena Horne, truly herself on stage, I think.

I think it's such a magical performance because she just appears as like this ball of hope.

Yes.
