Desmond Carrington -After Seven

on BBC Radio 2

2/4. Broadcasting veteran
Desmond Carrington recalls the careers of entertainers who caught the public's attention with their distinctive style. The series continues with a profile of stage and screen star Lena Home, whose black image was literally toned down for white audiences throughout her 1940s Hollywood career. Featuring several of Home's recordings and a few words about her struggle to flaunt her many talents in a prejudiced, white-dominated society. Producer Dave Aylott
