Singer and actress. Born Lena Mary Calhoun Horne on June 30, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. Raised by her actress mother, by the age of 16 she was dancing at Harlem's Cotton Club, becoming a popular singer with bands such as those of Noble Sissle and Teddy Wilson. She performed in the musical Blackbirds of 1939, and went into film, becoming the first African-American to be signed to a long-term contract (although her scenes were sometimes excised for distribution in the South). The title song of Stormy Weather (1943) became her signature.
