Gorgeous, vivacious, glamour girl Millie Monroe was another black beauty that contributed her talent and beauty to films but didn't get the fair chance she so deserved in films. Millie Monroe was a California based dancer, singer, and actress who appeared in many Hollywood and race films in the 1940s. Because of her striking resemblance to Lena Horne, Millie was chosen to be a stand-in for Lena in Cabin in the Sky. Millie also performed in Duke Ellington's stage production of "Jump for Joy," a sensational musical that included many at the time would be legends performers like Dorothy Dandridge and Herb Jeffries.
