Clarence Muse

Clarence Muse loved saying he foresaw Dorothy Dandridge's stardom.  

Ruby wanted Muse to help her daughters get into the movies.  Clarence told her to forget Hollywood and take her girls back to Cleveland where thy had come from.  According to him her daughters were too light skinned for the movies.  

Muse  said this later about Ruby and her daughters, "I paid their first damn money for an apartment they lived in and I never got my $70 back either."
