James Gavin’s new biography, Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne, is an astute investigation into what would ideally be a bygone American tale: a wildly talented black woman relentlessly beset by racism. Horne has had a long and successful career as a chanteuse, as well as some significant dips into acting. This would be the right time to throw around the word “diva,” but there's no need to don a feather boa — that's just our unsolicited, barely educated, and hopefully unwarranted fashion advice.
