Tony award-winning actress and singer Diahann Carroll dies at 84
NEW YORK - Diahann Carroll, a versatile singer and stage actress who quietly blazed a trail for black women on American television in the late 1960s by playing a widowed nurse and single mother in “Julia”, died on Friday at age 84, her manager said.
With a handful of movie roles and an award-winning Broadway career already under her belt, Carroll landed the title role in the 1968 television show “Julia.” She played Julia Baker, a nurse struggling to raise a young son by herself after her husband was killed in the Vietnam war. Carroll’s success as “Julia” set her up for another title role in the 1974 movie, “Claudine,” for which she received an Oscar nomination. Playing opposite James Earl Jones, she reprised her single-mother character, this time living in Harlem with six children and on public relief.
She adopted the more exotic-sounding Diahann Carroll as a teenager auditioning for singing gigs, it said.
