. She only knows that she likes me and I like her and she feels warmth and that I'm a nice person."
When
actress Dorothy Dandridge gave birth to her only child, Harolyn Suzanne
Nicholas, on September 2, 1943, she initially thought that her baby was
healthy. It wasn't until the child's second birthday that Dandridge
realized something was terribly wrong. The young girl didn't speak, and
she didn't seem to recognize that Dandridge was her mother. At first,
doctors said that Nicholas had psychological trauma because Dandridge
was away from home so often while working in Hollywood. But experts
later realized that Nicholas had suffered from cerebral anoxia — a lack
of oxygen to her brain — at birth. With a heavy heart, Dandridge
followed the doctors' advice to place her daughter with a caretaker. It
was a decision she regretted for the rest of her life. Go inside the
tragic story of Dorothy Dandridge's mentally disabled daughter:
