One of the great joys of my career was getting to work with, laugh with, sing with, and listen to Miss Diahann Carroll for 6 years on White Collar. We are all deeply saddened by her loss, and will miss her greatly. I love you Diahann, and I will never forget your wisdom, generosity of spirit, and the ever present twinkle in you eye. You broke so many boundaries, and you helped me to have the courage to push through my own. Thank you for the memories, and Rest In Peace. What a life you lived. Our hearts and thoughts are with her family today. #diahanncarroll

Thank you for gracing us with your glorious presence. You were a gift, sent to us in divine wrapping paper. My eyes are filled with tears. May you Rest In Peace. Well done, Ms. Carroll. Well done.

First my beloved #JessyeNorman and now the singular #diahanncarroll. This is really too much. Ms. Carroll blazed so many trails for black women and for black actors. I am so blessed I got to meet her. Just to breathe the same air she did was an honor of a lifetime. This legendary scene from Dynasty is but a tiny part of the legacy she leaves behind. Thank you Ms. Carroll. #RIPDiahannCarroll.
