I love Ms Carroll. My youngest son was named after “Julia’s “ son Corey. My Corey was born in 1969 and is Dr Corey Yeager psychotherapist for the Detroit Pistons. May she R I P.

I loved the Julia show. I was a 13 year old Black girl and it made me so proud to see a beautiful Black woman with her own TV program. RIP, Diahann Carroll. Thank you for being a trailblazer.

People may not know how important the show Julia was. Also the other shows she mentioned I-Spy and the Mod Squad. They did break down alot of barriers.

[@JazzMaestra]

I remember watching "Julia" as a child. I adore Diahann Carroll!

[@SpousalPrivilege]

She was the epitome of true CLASS and what it meant to be a "LADY"! EXQUISITE, PRECIOUS AND RARE...A JEWEL!

[@colejx78]

As an 8 year old white girl I loved Julia. I even named my black Barbie after her. Very fond memories.

[@MsTexas73]

wow she is still beautiful all these yrs] after the show finished

Just ridiculous that so much negativity was directed at this show and Diahann Carroll personally. Why didn't anyone level the same criticism against Bill Cosby's character on "I-Spy"? The same argument that the Julia character wasn't representative of the African-Americans' reality could easily have been leveled against Bill Cosby's character as well. The thing with Julia was they did address the problems of racism pretty frankly in more than a few episodes. I watch the show now and I'm amazed at just how openly and honestly some of those episodes spoke about the problems of race as well as the problems of being a single mother. I'm just so happy the Aspire network is airing this show and that in promos, they've recognized it as a truly ground-breaking show. Mainly, though, I'm happy that with the passage of time, everyone can enjoy Julia for what it is: a good show period.

I thank God that I grow up during those times. I thank God for Diahann Carroll and many others that help to move that mountain.

Another show I would add to Ms. Carroll's list...Room 222 which along with Mod Squad began a year after Julia.

[@damianlatimer5753]

The Mod Squad premiered the same year as Julia did

This sista, besides excellent acting skills, exemplifies class and breeding. Looking at the "back then and now" it is very obvious.
