FirstLadyB: Entertainment News With A Purpose
Legendary actress Diahann Carroll has died. She was 84.
The Tony Award winning actress died at her home in Los Angeles after a long bout with cancer, according to her daughter, journalist Suzanne Kay.
Her first major television assignment was starring as the middle-class single mother Julia in a 1968 sitcom that was praised for featuring an African American in the title role as much as it was criticized for ignoring the civil rights struggle.
My favorite Diahann Carroll role was when she played Dominique Deveraux on the 80’s soap “Dynasty”
