THE LEGS ARE THE LAST TO GO

DIAHANN CARROL'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY IS OUT NOW!

She is perhaps most famous for her role as Dominique Deveraux, the “black bitch” from Dynasty. But she is also a Golden Globe and Tony Award winning actress of stage, screen and film and has been nominated for an Oscar®, a Grammy, and an Emmy. Carroll has appeared in dozens of acclaimed movies and both starred in her own network sitcom, Julia, and hosted a television variety show that bore her name for several years. In addition, she has graced the stages of Broadway many times (for productions by Truman Capote and Richard Rodgers), performed as a headlining singer in Las Vegas and New York and produced and starred in her own critically-acclaimed one-woman show. And, at age seventy-three, she is still appearing in plum roles for hit television series like Grey’s Anatomy (for which she recently received another Emmy Award nomination).

She is Diahann Carroll and, by all Hollywood accounts, her career could have faltered the moment she turned forty. But not only did her career not crumble at that mythical Hollywood expiration date, it actually thrived (though, not without more than a few bumps along the way). And more importantly, as she grew older, Carroll’s personal life flourished as well, as the cumulative wisdom of her years finally began to manifest itself into happiness, contentment and a newfound confidence in her own skin.
