I miss her, she was not only a trailblazer, she oozes class and is so eloquent.

[@renegaderunner332]

INDEED!

[@jsetennis]

She is the epitome of class.

[@gnelj7298]

Totally agree. Classy

[@RyanHLee-nc7hg]

Ms. Carroll's articulation and enunciation inspire me to be more deliberate with my own self-expression. Her elegance practically seeps out of every pore of her being. What beauty she possessed. What talent she exuded.

[@e.s.9080]

From that era of Hollywood that no longer exists. When actors spoke clearly, articulated and enunciated sharply. Shakespeare really, compared to the nervous, frantic, fast talking and mumbling that passes for speech in front of a camera these days. This lady is diamond.

[@marcathens2951]

Exactly 💯%

[@stavros333]

We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

Amen. No one was more glamorous and elegant then Miss. Carroll. The way she enunciated her words, my God… I could listen to her speak for hours… I miss her so much. RIP Queen… ❤️

[@charlesdavis545]

Eloquent.Classy. Groundbreaking actress. Legend. Beautiful soul. Gone too soon. She succeeded where Dorothy Dandridge didn't.

[@suzettebennett816]

Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, paved the way for her. She did succeeded beyond their expectations.

[@santodomingoexpat6866]

Did Diahann Carroll EVER have a bad hair/makeup day? She showed actresses how to age beautifully. What grace, style and talent. Rest easy, Ms. Carroll.

[@forreal245]

With the best wigs & makeup artists, one can't have a "bad day". Remove the above & just another plain woman.

Decades later she still looked amazing! 😍 Everything about her is so elegant

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

Yes she did! I got a chance to sit in a room with her when she seemed to be the age she was here in this video.. maybe a little older?

[@GETOSUPASTAR]

I miss her so much. She was so elegant and glamorous. Hands down one of the classiest, beautiful movie/TV stars that ever lived. I could listen to her speak for hours. They don’t make them like this anymore. RIP Miss. Carroll! ❤️

[@andygreen1a]

I could listen to here speak all day long. She led such a fascinating life. Her enunciation is so precise, it’s a pleasure to listen to. I always loved her singing voice too. What an incredibly talented lady she was. She had it all. Beauty, poise, elegance, intelligence and phenomenal talent.

Geeezh she was forever beautiful 😍

[@oiooi6460]

What a beautiful articulate woman

[@cathleanjohnson675]

As a young black child living in the south when her show "Julia" aired it was a big deal seeing a woman of color being the lead on a major network TV show back then, she was a ground breaker even 2 decades later on "Dynasty", she paved the way for Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, and she was intellegent and gorgeous, RIP, you nade history..

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

I love her stories!! ❤️

One episode was the most wonderful response i have ever seen and will stick in my mind forever the Actor playinging the Doctor .....hears how it went.... Julia....Doctor i thought you were going to say something a bout me being a colored Nurse....Doctor....I just thought you were a Nurse ....brilliant come back!

[@DeCurtaRican]

She could have gotten it even at the time of this interview. She’s my all-time celebrity crush! I loved that woman. 😍

Continue to RIP Ms Carroll. I thank u for the kindness you showed me when I met u as a student waiter serving you. Your kindness was genuine.

Lets not pretend she needed that makeup! She wanted it! There is a difference.🤣 I bet she looks gorgeous without make up ...even now! The beauty of Diahann Carroll is legendary!

[@KingBobaFett434]

She did a great job playing Queen La in Disney’s Legend of Tarzan series.

[@karengarrett3000]

What a beautiful message was shared from Diahann Carroll. I enjoyed watching this and have watched her in different television shows, soap operas!!

[@myalumina548]

When it came time for making Dyansty's spin-off, The Colbys, the producers should have centered it around Dominique Devereaux. Based in LA like The Colbys was but built around her record company and the music business with singers and musicians all over the place. Not pipelines, tankers, and spaceships. Call it Moguls or Fortunes or Royalties or something like that. Dominique never had enough great stories on Dynasty and The Colbys floundered all over the place as a more-expensive but very repetitive Dynasty knock-off. Sable Colby can stick around, though. Stephanie Beacham was the only truly great thing about The Colbys.

[@GETOSUPASTAR]

Amen to all of this… 👏🏿

Cantor was a fool she is the flavor that is needed for ANY role

[@malindayoung2914]

12:11 right here is when studios realized that they could make money from beautiful women fighting. Today we have housewives of….., love and hip hop, bad girls club, etc. I think it was born in this moment 😮

[@gwp5066]

I've her heard say interviews that she told them to write Dominique as if they were writing a male character. That never made sense to me. Her first scene she comes to the hotel with all her luggage and says she wont sleep in the same room with her wardrobe. In her scene with Alexis she complains about the burned champagne. Maybe she told them to write as if she were a ruthless gay man.

[@karimkirsch2673]

I think it was more so the privilege of that person. I think a rich white man would be very upfront and demand the things they feel they deserve like Dominique.

Hey Dihann, Arthur Godfrey was born in Manhattan in 1903, he was NOT a southern man, as you say, maybe he “had to say what he had to say” as you say New Yorkers have to do.
