Vanessa Greenway celebrates the iconic Lena Horne, a singer, dancer, actress, and civil rights activist whose career spanned more than seventy years, making cameo appearances in a string of musical films during the 1940s and more substantially in two 1943 film musicals, Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky and spent most of the 1950s continuing her extremely successful night club and recording career before lighting up Broadway starring opposite Ricardo Montalban in Yip Harburg, Fred Saidy and Harold Arlen's 1957 Calyso-themed hit musical Jamaica. In 1981 she returned to Broadway with her long-running Tony and Grammy Award-winning revue Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music. Horne's powerful voice and charismatic performing style made her performances of favorites such as "Stormy Weather", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Come On Strong" and "The Rules Of The Road" unforgettable.
