Diahann Carroll dies at 84

[applecruncher]

I loved this beautiful lady. She was sheer class. I remember the ground-breaking show "Julia" when I was in high school.

(CNN)Diahann Carroll, who pioneered television with her starring role in the 1968 series "Julia," died Friday, her daughter Suzanne Kay confirmed to CNN.

Carroll was 84.

She died early Friday, following a battle with breast cancer, according to her publicist Jeffery Lane.
Known as much for her talent as she was her beauty and elegance, Carroll was beloved for her work in "Julia," as well as her subsequent performance as the wealthy and cultured Dominique Deveraux in the 1980s ABC primetime soap opera "Dynasty."

She became the first African-American woman to star in a network sitcom not revolving around a stereotypical character when "Julia" premiered on NBC in 1968.

I was watching a show on TV Land last evening and they paid homage to her. I remember her show and my wife not wanting to miss an episode. She was also a very good singer and appeared on many variety shows.

She kind of reminded me of a young lady that I dated during my college years.
