Legendary actress/singer Lena Horne has died at the age of 92, RadarOnline.com has learned.
She died Sunday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Horne - known for her velvety rendition of Stormy Weather - broke racial barriers both in Hollywood and on Broadway.
Horne was 16 when she began her show business career as a dancer at Harlem's fabled Cotton Club. She later became a singer there, playing to packed houses of white customers, with band leaders Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington.
