The Legs Are The Last To Go by Diahann Carroll

I enjoyed Diahann’s frankness about her stardom and being an entertainer in general.

She did not sugarcoat anything she went through as a well-known entertainer. She spoke candidly about her marriages, her daughter wanting to be recognized as her own person, her parent’s separation and mostly what it was like as a black entertainer and dealing with racism.

What I learned what that she had an affair with THE Syndey Poitier. I forgot he is still a man although I thought that would have been way out of character for him. They both were married with children.

What sticks out most to me is her comment that she “was always on time, always prepared, and always, always coiffed and dressed”.
She has battled breast cancer, her mothers death and the separation/reunion with her only daughter.
