Diahann Carroll: Born July 17, 1935 - Died October 4, 2019 at the age of 84 (Cancer). She was an American actress, singer and model. She rose to stardom in performances in some of the earliest major studio films to feature black casts, including Carmen Jones in 1954 and Porgy and Bess in 1959. In 1962, Carroll won a Tony Award for best actress, a first for a black woman, for her role in the Broadway musical No Strings. Her 1968 debut in Julia, the first series on American television to star a black woman in a nonstereotypical role, was a milestone both in her career and the medium. In the 1980s she played the role of a mixed-race diva in the primetime soap opera Dynasty. Carroll was the recipient of numerous stage and screen nominations and awards, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress In A Television Series in 1968. She received an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination for the 1974 film Claudine.

Diahann Carroll's Oscar 🏆nomination for Best Actress for Claudine was historic, not only for her superb performance, but due to the fact, that it was also an indie film which are often critically acclaimed but aren't always commercially successful. Claudine had both components 💰🎦 according to these box office 🎬 receipts: "Not only did critics enjoy the film, it was also a commercial success judging by the standards of 1974. The movie cost $3 million to make and ended up grossing $6 million the year of its release!!!"

Damn another great legend leaves us. She was an actress who never got her fair due of respect from Hollywood I mean yeah she got a few great roles but as far as longevity like white actresses she never got her fair share of great roles. I remember hearing her say in an interview that many times roles not given to her because - when asked to do something she as a human not as a character - but her as a human when she refused to do things that she felt compromised her dignity and self respect the industry turned on her making it seem as though she was the bad guy.

Lovely interview. "Claudine" was written specifically for Diana Sands by the husband/wife team Lester & Tina Pine. it was planned to be the role that would showcase her talent in an unmistakeable way -- so many in the business felt she was a truly great and gifted actress who was not getting the attention, the roles, the money, or the fame that she deserved. The director, John Berry was blacklisted during the McCarthy era, and had been living in France. Claudine was to be his US comeback. Also they wanted a diverse working crew. It was not just a film being made for profit, but a film these people believed in -- they were putting their politics into action at every turn. But, Diana got sick before any film rolled. Diahann did an excellent job, but one thing she doesn't say here is that although the director was John Berry, she worked privately -- really secretly, with a New York acting coach, Alice Spivak. It was her hard work with Alice that truly got her to the Oscars. Bravo all.

Oh yes, in her autobiographies, she mentioned that she worked with an acting coach on Claudine.
