Elizabeth Foster   Dorothy Dandridge, Carmen Jones, 1954.    Two other singers - Foster and Joyce Bryant - also tested as Carmen.  But unlike the director’s favourite (and lover)  Dandridge, not opposite James Edwards.  Director-ogre Otto Preminger OK’d Edwards for tests -  but his career was deep-sixing.
