Members Faulkner Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 Oh my god. She always felt immortal. I suppose she is regardless of this earthly life, but still a shock. RIP to an icon and pioneer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 Loved her as Dominique. She played the kind but tough trope so well. RIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 Such a talented and one of a kind woman. A true goddess - one of those people you feel lucky to have ever known about. She was always able to remake herself for new eras while remaining true to her morals and standards. I really loved her work in Claudine, a role she gave so much dignity. And in more recent years, she was a standout on White Collar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I am sorry to hear this news. She was a talented and very pretty lady. She was very stylish all throughout her life. Edited October 4, 2019 by xtr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 She deserves credit for making for helping black women in entertainment see that they can be elegant and stylish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 Anyone who wants to see just how trans-formative a presence Carroll can be in a role should see her in that movie! The lovely Diana Sands was too sick to take the role of the title character and suggested Carroll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 Definitely deserves that credit! She literally broke a "color ceiling" with her first role, Julia. Then, more recently with Matt Bomer who got his start on GL, she was fantastic as his companion/landlady on White Collar, the USA drama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 Wow, RIP. She still seemed so energetic and looked so youthful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 A good friend of mine was the first person to interview Matt Bomer when he'd barely been in the city for a week. She adored him. The fans adored him, too, and his role as Ben. It was just too bad, too awfully bad, that ConWest had him commit suicide out of guilt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 4, 2019 Members Share Posted October 4, 2019 As an aside: All these daytime soap HWs on social media tweeting pics and memes of Diahann Carroll as Dominique Deveraux yet wouldn't think to create such a character on their own soap-- they don't even give any black women characters a semblance of agency on their shows! They should all be ashamed of their hypocrisy! Daytime still suffers (I mean the ratings suffer) from this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
