As CNN confirmed, pioneering actress and singer Lena Horne died last night at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. She was 92. A Brooklyn native, Horne overcame racial discrimination as the first Black actress signed to a major Hollywood studio. She later went on to release 40 albums. Below is her final television performance 12 years ago on The Rosie O’Donnell Show.

40 albums?! Wow. These young’s are really slacking. R.I.P. Ms. Horne. You deserve it.
i remember my mom playing her music when i was growing up coz she got most of it from my grandma, and just to hear that she’s gone brought a tear to my eye. R.I.P. that was family to me, (to all of us) send love to some one you love not just today but everyday.
R.I.P Best female rapper ever.
Fell in love with this beautiful woman after seeing her on the Cosby Show years ago…..YES. the Cosby show. Until then i wasn’t even aware of who she was. Better late than never. Thank you for what you have done for your people and for what you contributed to music.
RIP Lena!
What a talented and beautiful woman… Most importantly BRAVE and INTELLIGENT.
And who does my generation have…?? Nicki Minaj.. UGH.
Lena Horne was a truly remarkable lady. Rest well.
Yo, I was just watching The Wiz this past weekend.
She will truly be missed
Umm.. why does it say ”…as the first Black actress…” I’m not an american or black, so excese my ignorance for not knowing who she was untill today, but from what I see in the picture and video, she’s white.
