Legendary singer and actress Lena Horne, died Sunday night at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan, New York. She was 92 years old. Medical professionals declined to give a cause of death. Horne, a Brooklyn native, broke barriers as a performer. She began her career at 16, making a name for herself as a dancer at Harlem's renowned Cotton Club in the 1930s. In 1942, she became the first black performer with a major Hollywood studio contract. She became the top-earning black performer in Hollywood by 1945, and is now credited with paving the way for many black actresses in Hollywood who aspired toward larger roles in film productions. In 1947, she married white conductor and bandleader Lennie Hayton; ostensibly to advance her career. Horne was later quoted as saying "he could get me into places no black manager could." The couple separated shortly into their marriage. By the 1960s Horne had became a prominent celebrity voice in the civil rights movement. She joined in the March on Washington when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech and spoke at a rally with Medgar Evers—both of which helped land her on the McCarthy-era blacklist, and stunted her career for nearly a decade. In addition to two Grammy awards, Horne won a 1981 Tony Award for her one-woman show on Broadway, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music. Horne is survived by her daughter, journalist Gail Buckley.
