Lena Horne - Classy At 90

[Borderstone]

Lena Horne turned 90 years old today and it's certainly great to see she's alive & well.

She's one of the classiest ladies from the golden era of Hollywood,especially the movie "Stormy Weather". She's a great presence in that film and there's never been a singer like her before or after the fact.

She also demonstrated in that film that an African-American woman can be just as beautiful & classy as any other woman or person in the world.

Like many my age,I first saw her on Sesame Street singing,"It's Not Easy Being Green" to Kermit.

Happy 90th Lena. You've sure earned it.

i remember watching her on Ed Sullivan..mygoodness that woman was extraordinary..
happy birthday to her!!!!!!!!!!!!

She still is Char. I recall her appearence on The Cosby Show when it's Cliff's Birthday and he doesn't want to go home after meeting her! LOL! :D

She sings a great song in that one,i think it was called,"I'm Glad There Is You".

I'm glad there's this site and all you guys.

She is incredibly attractive, even being 90, which she doesn't look anywhere close to that age. What talent. I watched the tribute to Ed Bradley, he was speechless trying to interview her. What a beautiful exchange between them.

She had Ed on the ropes..it was mesmerizing to watch...she had and still has the power!
Classy all the way...

My word, 90? She's ageless!

She sure seems ageless,she made "Stormy Weather" in the early 1940s w/Cab Calloway! That seems like an eon from this time.
