Shame. She was a good actress. When I was kid I always watched her show. Lloyd Nolan played her boss.
Yes I remember watching Julia as a very young child. Had no idea at the time that it was groundbreaking. She was very talented. RIP.
My husband and I watch old Naked City episodes. The one she was in was great. The kid in the episode played Dill in To kill a Mockingbird. We knew him.
I enjoyed Julia.
Condolences to families and friends of Diahann Carroll. R.I.P., lady
love
RIP to a beautifully talented lady.
Anyone have a recent picture? Would like to see how she aged.
I recently was watching Detectorists and was shocked at how Dianna Rigg looked. Age really does you in. Didn’t even recognize her. But I did keep looking at the other character and wondered who she was..her voice reminded me of someone.
It was Diana Rigg’s daughter. Sounded a lot like her when she was young
I loved that show. What a long way we have come for the better.
“Julia” is on Cozi TV.
Here she is in 2018. WOW..she aged well. Even if part of it is plastic surgery and a wig (not sure if that is the case) AND good makeup artist and lighting

Dianne was a good actress. She was also a very good singer.
One of my favorite Christmas LP Albums was with Dianne singing a duet of “Silver Bells” with Perry Como, and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” on a different album.
I always thought she was quite beautiful and talented. Still, 84 is a ripe old age IMO for an entertainer. R.I.P.
Rigg had a big role in Game of Thrones. I didnt even know I was looking at Emma Peel for a long time.
Julia was the first TV show to have a “cuddly little” black kid as a cast member. That was long before Gary Coleman and Webster. I wonder whatever happened to that child actor.
One of my schoolboy crushes.
RIP.
Must mention she won a Tony Award for best actress, a first for a black woman, for her role in the hit Broadway musical
“No Strings” with Richard Kiley.
Although no mention is made of the musical’s interracial theme back in 1960’s it was controversial.
In her memoir she writes that on opening night, when Diahann was acclaimed as a major star, composer Richard Rogers told her she could not go to the opening night party-—b/c she was black.
This from Richard Rodgers who won a Pulitzer Prize for his pro-civil rights music in South Pacific.
What ever happened to Cory? Don’t know his real name.
