1970-71 Television Season 50th Anniversary: Julia (Diahann Carroll '71 Cavett Interview)
Happy Valentine's Day 2021 everyone. We celebrate today with a lovely women in red - the wonderful Diahann Carroll, and the final segment of her 1971 interview with Dick Cavett on The Dick Cavett Show.
Ms. Carroll had just wrapped up her landmark hit television NBC series 'Julia', and was discussing and reflecting with Mr. Cavett her childhood and young adult years living in New York City. Julia was just finishing its ground breaking and successful three year run, debuting on September 17, 1968, and ending its network broadcast run on March 23, 1971 A truly remarkable series that presented a black woman in America in that critical transitional period of the late 1960's into the early 1970's; and Ms. Carroll was fantastic, and a true pioneer and trail blazer for the television industry.
This video clip is presented here on KZread for the entertainment and informational value of the viewer, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Enjoy !
Much more coming later today and this week with our tribute to Diahann Carroll and a surprise (should be no surprise!) Television Vanguard announcement regarding Ms. Carroll and her television legacy.

Old school glamour, poise and intelligence. She has always just been the epitome of class.
She talks about “taboo” things for the time like mental health and therapy, especially as a black woman, with such grace and a matter-of-fact attitude. It’s dope af

It really is Dope. There’s a freedom in her stance. She’s not upset or angry. She’s just matter of fact as if she’s waiting for white America to catch up intentionally and on purpose.

Yup, and the way now that’s she’s gone, people try to force their respectability politics on her. Like they clearly don’t know her politics AT ALL. Love her so much! I’ve been getting an obsession with her.

@@CandaceLeAnnePeriod! I love that about her! And she knew it, we knew it, they always want someone to educate them and use racism to distract us, too bad it wasn’t working with her. They needed and still need to catch up. Tired of them.
This woman was absolutely stunning!

Not all women are feminine and they don’t have to be.
Notice how uncomfortable he seems? I love how she doesn’t let him intimidate her. Doesn’t let him minimize her. And does it all with class. She ruled him. Poor Dick didn’t stand a chance.
I love how it seems like she went to this talk show, bare faced. Without any makeup on and her hair styled out of her face. And what a beautiful face she had 🤩!!!

@@marselluswallace6597 I think the issue is trying to compare women to other women. You can still be very elegant even with tattoos and piercings. That's saying a black man wearing dreads is unprofessional when it's not. A hairstyle, piercing, tattoo does not determine your presence and how you carry yourself.

I love your comment and I love how, when she departed, she offered her hand for a handshake, not a show biz hug. She has no need to be "available" for hugs. She is cordial but not subservient. She drew the barrier and men could cross it only if invited.
