She changed my life by letting me rent a space next to here garage 40 years ago so I could rebuild the motor on the bus I lived in. Her kindness allowed me to fix my motor and get out of the desert to create Tiny Texas Houses and other great things I got to do after her gift of time and space I needed so bad. Thank you, thank you, thank you Diahann... you changed my life with that one favor.

True beauty never fades. All this fake and phony made up beauty today fades quick. Silicone and injections were unheard of back then. Those women were the real deal.

R.I. Heavenly peace i always love your movie's you will forever be missed love you always
She was one of my favorite people back in the early 70s. I remember her on tv seeing her quite often back then
Now she's with them in peace.
My Mother's words and teachings exactly. It is why I married late and had my daughters at 33 & 40. They also understood the wisdom. They are 34 & 41 and are the titles Mrs. & Mother.

I love this woman, I just admire her and her energy. Rest in Peace Queen Diahann Carroll.
This was so interesting. Her family from Aiken, SC area sounds so much like my family from the same place and time. Makes me want to do more research on the family.
I love the way she talks reminds me of my mother
She was a role model for black women she was bueatiful , elegant, graceful. ?and strong, she was a ground breaker the first black women on tv to have a lead show on a major network Julia a RN.Rest in Peace you made us proud Ms. Carroll we love you forever.
She is so gorgeous
Praying for comfort in JESUS Name.
Beautiful. Makeup accentuates her beautiful eyes.
What's really bugging me is that there has been no word of a funeral or anything like that. People today have such a short attention span and our media today is so lacking...

JungleYT same thing I was thinking.
I am sad today. The finality of death can at times feel debilitating. Rest well, Queen Mother. Your memory lives on.
She was a genius
She was a legend
Diahann Carroll is the epitome of the alpha female
R.I.P Mrs. D.C
What a wonderful woman. Rip beautiful lady.
I grew up watching Julia on TV, it was ahead of it's time and an inspiration to young and old Blacks , not accustomed to seeing ourselves in roles of professionals on TV, even though I had Registered Nurses, Teachers, Social Workers , Dentists in my own extended family. As an African American, I am the first in my nuclear family to graduate college; others followed after. I remember watching "Claudia", with Diahann Carroll , James Earl Jones, Lawrence Hilton Jacobs and an amazing cast of young actors and actresses, that movie touched home because I grew up with women who worked and did the best they could to raise their children. Three things you were always told by my mother growing up: " Finish school/Get a Job, Don't bring no babies in Here unless you are married; and I am not going to see nobody in any jail". God Bless her heart, my mother will be 83 years old this year, and all 4 of us daughters did exactly that. RIP Dear Ms. Carroll, I will never forget you.
Amazing woman.
♥️...a BEAUTIFUL LADY....😊
Remarkable story, she had a good foundation. 😍😍😍
RIP Diahann Carroll ❤️
So beautiful
Who knew. You couldn't have imagined. This for her LIFE. She never ever let it show. On HER.
Large families are not a blessing. Love her honesty, and common sense.

I agree
Interestingly enough, she confessed on Oprah's Masterclass that her parents gave her up to be raised by other relatives. She goes on to say that she had only recently learned to forgive them.
For knowing my father for myself peace 🙏 changes everything hold on to him he is a part of you he's your soul enjoy your life Linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯💯 💯

Well I'm sad to hear of her departure of life. But Diane's Beauty class and elegance I will never forget for this lady is all about that. I Totally enjoyed her character on Dyanasty that was fabulous work from her. But I first saw Diane Carrol on TV as Julia, our family time was precious we watch her show to support her weekly she was stunning beautiful i think my dad had a slight crush on her and Nancy Wilson by her grace on screen. I continued to follow her over the years in her fantastic Career. One My favorite movies by her is Claudine among others . I know she enjoyed her life, she always dressed to the 9's and loved everything she worked for to deserve. 🕊🕊RIP Diane, you will be missed loved and remembered by me, and others always. 😍⚘⚘⚘👏👏👏

@5:11 That's WHY a lot of women have to say no and most importantly they have to get used to and get familiar with saying no and having a lot of boundaries..

THE TIFFANY LAMP WAS IN JACKS FOR 40.00 A VERSION And the 'LAMP' REBECCA IN TH EDOLLARS STORE AND NO ONE RECOGNIZED IT AS BEAUTIFUL BUT IF I BUY IT And put it in my home . people steal them
im relared to her , she one of my great granmothers cousin of some sort !
THATS A LOT OF COUSINS WOW... She had one child but that’s ok with all that family lol
I worked maybe 20 miles from Bladenboro and never knew she hailed from there. A good friends family name was Faulk. Small world
Not to be disrespectful but if you know that you’re in poverty you know that you can barely afford crumbs to eat and you know it will be difficult why continue to have kids I don’t comprehend it in that time in there and this time in area 2022 it’s God’s Grace and only his mercy 🙏
My dearest Cousin Diahann, the opportunity didn't present itself to us but it never void our "Faulk" family connection. You're soaring high above and have joined the great cloud of witnesses. The curtains on this side has closed but the curtain call in glory I'm sure was HEAVENLY. With Love and Deepest Sympathy, Cedric, your Blain-Spain-Singletary-Faulk Family, The Faulk Family Gathering and Horry County Democratic Party State Executive Committee Team

the decided to raise clones to make songs or movies for leading men
She talked about morality when she had 9 yr affair with married Sidney Poitier
BLACK NURSES AIDES
BECAUSE OF THE STOLEN SONG MONEY , MY FAMILY HAD TO MAKE DOUBLES AND I ALWAYS HAD TWO SETS OF SIBLINGS FROM UNCLE AND FATHER AROUND TO HIDE MY AGE
She sounds grasping for words to glamourize her parents. They were both poor , with no talent and uneducated. LIfe could be rough.
The first time got no Who she's its in Tv Talk show. It got my Attention because she's Beatiful, classy Lady and i said, I want 2 looking like her !! They asked her How she takes care her skin? I never forgeteven she she uses Nutragina sesame seeds body oil. I love it leaves my Skin soft , smelling beautiful .I'm still using it. 😄😃
