Dorothy Dandridge was born on November 9, 1922 in Cleveland, Ohio, to aspiring entertainer Ruby Dandridge (nee Butler) (March 3, 1900 - October 17, 1987) and Cyril Dandridge (October 25, 1895 - July 9, 1989), a cabinetmaker and Baptist minister, who had separated just before her birth. Ruby created a song-and-dance act for her two young daughters, Vivian and Dorothy, under the name The Wonder Children, that was managed by Geneva Williams. The sisters toured the Southern United States almost nonstop for five years (rarely attending school), while Ruby worked and performed in Cleveland.

In 1957, Dandridge sued Confidential (magazine) for libel over its article that described a scandalous incident, fictitious as it turned out, that it claimed occurred in 1950. In May 1957, she accepted an out-of-court settlement of $10,000.  Dandridge was one of the few Hollywood stars who testified at the 1957 criminal libel trial of Hollywood Research, Inc., the company that published Confidential as well as all of the other tabloid magazines from that era. Four months after her out-of-court settlement for $10,000, she and actress Maureen O'Hara, the only other star who testified at the criminal trial, were photographed shaking hands outside the downtown-Los Angeles courtroom where the highly publicized trial was held. Testimony from O'Hara, as well as from a disgruntled former magazine editor named Howard Rushmore, revealed that the magazines published false information provided by hotel maids, clerks, and movie-theater ushers who were paid for their tips. The stories with questionable veracity most often centered around alleged incidents of casual sex. When the jury and press visited Grauman's Chinese Theatre to determine whether O'Hara could have performed various sexual acts while seated in the balcony, as reported by a magazine published by Hollywood Research, Inc., this was discovered to have been impossible.  Dandridge had not testified during her civil lawsuit earlier in 1957, but in September she gave testimony in the criminal trial that further strengthened the prosecution's case. Alleged by Confidential to have fornicated with a white bandleader in the woods of Lake Tahoe in 1950, she testified that racial segregation had confined her to her hotel during her nightclub engagement in the Nevada resort city. When she was not in the hotel lounge rehearsing or performing her singing, according to her testimony, she was required to stay inside her room where she slept alone. Dandridge's testimony along with O'Hara's testimony proved beyond any doubt that Hollywood Research had committed libel at least twice. The judge ordered Hollywood Research to stop publishing questionable stories based on tips for which they paid, and this curtailed invasive tabloid journalism until 1971 when Generoso Pope, Jr. moved the National Enquirer, which he owned, from New York to Lantana, Florida.

Dandridge was one of the few Hollywood stars who testified at the 1957 criminal libel trial of Hollywood Research, Inc.,
Dorothy Dandridge föddes 9 november 1922 i Cleveland, Ohio, till aspirerande underhållare Ruby Dandridge (nee Butler) (3 mars 1900 – 17 oktober 1987) och Cyril Dandridge (25 oktober 1895 – 9 juli 1989), en kabinettssnickare och baptistminister, som hade separerat strax före sin födelse. Ruby skapade en låt-och-dansakt för sina två unga döttrar, Vivian och Dorothy, under namnet The Wonder Children, som sköttes av Genève Williams. Systrarna turnerade i södra USA nästan oavbrutet i fem år (sällan i skolan), medan Ruby arbetade och uppträdde i Cleveland. År 1957 stämde Dandridge Confidential (tidning) för ärekränkning över sin artikel som beskrev en skandalös händelse, fiktiv som det visade sig, att den hävdade inträffade 1950. I maj 1957 accepterade hon en förlikning utanför domstol på 10 000 dollar. Dandridge var en av få Hollywoodstjärnor som vittnade vid 1957 års brottsförtalsrättegång mot Hollywood Research, Inc., företaget som gav ut Confidential samt alla andra tabloidtidningar från den eran. Fyra månader efter uppgörelsen för 10000 dollar blev hon och skådespelerskan Maureen O'Hara, den enda andra stjärnan som vittnade vid rättegången, fotograferade när de skakade hand utanför rättssalen i Los Angeles där rättegången hölls. Vittnesbörd från O'Hara, liksom från en missnöjd före detta tidskriftsredaktör vid namn Howard Rushmore, avslöjade att tidskrifterna publicerade falsk information som lämnats av hotellpigorna, kontoristerna och filmteatervakterna som fick betalt för sina tips. Berättelserna med tvivelaktig sanningshalt kretsade oftast kring påstådda incidenter av tillfälligt sex. När juryn och pressen besökte Graumans kinesiska teater för att avgöra om O'Hara kunde ha utfört olika sexuella handlingar medan de satt på balkongen, vilket rapporterades av en tidskrift utgiven av Hollywood Research, Inc., upptäcktes detta ha varit omöjligt. Dandridge hade inte vittnat under sin civilrättsliga stämning tidigare 1957, men i september avgav hon vittnesmål i brottmålsrättegången som ytterligare stärkte åtalets mål. Påstådd av Confidential att hon hade begått otukt med en vit bandledare i skogen vid Lake Tahoe 1950 vittnade hon om att rassegregationen hade begränsat henne till sitt hotell under hennes nattklubbsförlovning i staden Nevada resort. När hon inte var i hotellloungen repade eller framförde sin sång, var hon enligt sitt vittnesmål tvungen att stanna inne i sitt rum där hon sov ensam. Dandridges vittnesmål tillsammans med O'Haras vittnesmål bevisade bortom allt tvivel att Hollywood Research hade begått ärekränkning minst två gånger. Domaren beordrade Hollywood Research att sluta publicera tvivelaktiga berättelser baserade på tips som de betalade för, och detta inskränkte invasiv tabloidjournalistik fram till 1971 då Generoso Pope, Jr. flyttade National Enquirer, som han ägde, från New York till Lantana, Florida.
