"Cindy Lou Belongs to Joe"



When we think Carmen Jones (1954), we often think of the hot-and-heavy, but doomed relationship of Carmen and Joe (played by Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte), but today--I'd like to pay homage to the original lovebirds: Cindy Lou and Joe.



There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that these two really did love each other. 

I often wonder what became of Cindy Lou (played by Olga James) after Joe. Did she marry? Who did she marry? Any children? Grandchildren?


Do you think Joe regretted leaving Cindy Lou? Killing Carmen? One more than the other?
