Showtune Sunday: All About Diahann Carroll!

Diahann Carroll turned 81 a few days ago so it’s a perfect to spotlight her on Showtune Sunday.

She’s a showbiz legend who In 1962 won the Tony Award for best actress (a first for a black woman) for the role of Barbara Woodruff in the musical No Strings and she was the first black woman to star in her own network sitcom playing a nurse and single mom in Julia. In 1974, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for Claudine and later played jetsetter Dominique Deveraux on Dynasty.

Miss Carroll has scores of other movie (Carmen Jones, Porgy and Bess), television (A Different World, White Collar) and stage (Sunset Boulevard) credits and as you can see in these clips, held her own singing with fellow showbiz legends like Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.
