Biography

Au cinéma, Ruby Dandridge (du nom de son époux dont elle divorcera) débute — dans un petit rôle non crédité — dans King Kong de Merian C. Cooper et Ernest Schoedsack (avec Fay Wray et Robert Armstrong), sorti en 1933. Elle contribue au total à trente-quatre films américains (dont trois courts métrages d'animation où elle prête sa voix), le dernier étant Un trou dans la tête de Frank Capra (avec Frank Sinatra et Edward G. Robinson), sorti en 1959.

Dans l'intervalle, mentionnons Un petit coin aux cieux de Vincente Minnelli et Busby Berkeley (1943, avec Ethel Waters et Eddie Anderson), Rose d'Irlande de David Butler (1947, avec Dennis Morgan et Arlene Dahl) et Le Sang de la terre de George Marshall (1948, avec Van Heflin et Susan Hayward).

Également active à la radio, elle y collabore surtout à la série radiophonique Beulah (1945-1954), aux côtés notamment d'Hattie McDaniel et Ernest Whitman, ainsi que de ses deux filles Dorothy Dandridge (1922-1965) et Vivian Dandridge (1921-1991), qu'elle initie au chant et à la danse.

En 1952, Ruby Dandridge reprend son rôle dans l'adaptation de Beulah sous forme de série télévisée, avec Hattie McDaniel puis Louise Beavers dans le rôle-titre. Elle participe entre 1951 et 1962 à sept autres séries américaines, dont un épisode d’Échec et mat en 1960.
