Legendary singer and actress Diahann Carroll passed away from breast cancer yesterday. I remember the first time I saw her on television. I was watching the movie "Carmen" with my father. I was so mesmerized by her voice and beauty. I started to watch "Dynasty" with my mom just so I could see her. She was a true talent. She could do motion pictures, soap operas, and broadway. There are very few people with a skill that versatile. My mother swore by her performance in "Claudine" and really was rooting for her to win the academy award for that performance. She didn't but she has won numerous other awards during her career including a Tony Award in 1962. Here is a nice tribute to her work and life. Enjoy!
