Books like The legs are the last to go by Diahann Carroll


Diahann Carroll defied Hollywood’s age and racial expectations, becoming a pioneering star whose career spanned film, television, and music. This biography offers a frank, insightful look at her personal and professional journey: her four marriages, her famed romance with Sidney Poitier, her role in Shonda Rhimes’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, and her recent tour, "The Life and Times of Diahann Carroll." Carroll reflects on the racial politics of Hollywood and Broadway, the personal costs of her pioneering work, and her resilience in the face of breast cancer, all while sharing anecdotes from auditions for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s "Sunset Boulevard" and her marriage to Vic Damone. Her story is a blend of candid humor, historical context, and the wisdom that comes with aging gracefully.
