Chrystal Lee who can forget I loved her in dynasty.

[@ldramseur5763]

KNALL MAN!

[@TT-fl8jt]

No but I have noticed a lot of news stations reporting her passing are not mentioning it only Julia. I make sure to remind them of her role on Dynasty was also groundbreaking as Blake's sister: An affluent, classy, African-American Diva!! There were not any roles on tv like hers at the time. Another successful black female actress would be Phylicia Rashad who played Mrs. Cosby, an attorney. Doninique Deveraux was way wealthier than Mrs. Cosby! Lol

[@brentwalton8456]

Chrystal Lee no I remember watching it all the time family time.

[@isaiahwinbrone]

She was a black queen

[@dianne8340]

Alquan Mrs. Carroll also had a long affair with a Black man, Sidney Poitier. Diahann Carroll was very much aware of discrimination and Jim Crow policies and practices, as well as segregation--separate but not equal. Harry Belafonte married a white woman but it has not stopped his efforts in the Civil Rights Movement. There are many examples of famous Black people marrying non-blacks. Sidney Poitier also married a white person. James Baldwin had affairs with several white people, but he didn’t escape his blackness nor did he try to escape it. There are many famous Blacks who marry other Blacks, but some of them remain silent when the torch is being passed to do the things that are needed to support and uplift the Black race as a whole unit. Instead of Black people being overly consumed about other adults’ bed mates, we should be participating in doing our part for the betterment of the Black community by directing and guiding our black youth.

[@magiciansalchemist3693]

Alquan Both Sydney, Harry and Sammy Davis Jr. Quincy Jones are married to White Women...So What? Keep that Same Energy. R.I.P Diane Carroll

[@x0xTHLover4Lifex0x]

@Alquan why did you feel it necessary to spew this biased and ignorant unecessary mess on a video memorializing a BLACK woman of class, grace, and talent. Take your hate elsewhere. You starting to sound like your oppressor. Seek therapy.

[@leona1081]

Yes, very very classy. When I see Ms Carroll, I think of Ms. Lynn Whitfield as well. So nice to see people paying tribute to this lady unlike SOME. Rest in power Ms. Carroll and thank you.

[@franklee9152]

@Alquan I don't get involved much on this comment section much. I could care less, however you shouldn't make statements like that. BLACK men sought White women , cause to have one was taboo. Once upon a time those in the know didn't speak about it. When a BLACK woman seeks a white man it's more about the relationship, not the scandal. BLACK people are free to do what the other ethnic groups do when it comes to affairs of the ❤ . So was that Black enough for you?

She was fabulous in every role she ever played!! I loved every role but I savored her performance in The Five Heartbeats, especially during the funeral and Big Red had the audacity to actually offer his condolences and his companionship to the widow of the man he had murdered. His crocodile tears were amazing but HER reaction was absolutely jaw dropping. It's a scene I have never forgotten.
