Diahann Carroll may be best known in the UK as Dominique Devereaux in Dynasty with the killer shoulder pads and acidic tongue but Diahann has an illustrious stage career. In 1962 she was the first African American Woman to win a Tony Award. She won a Golden Globe award in 1968 for her television series Julia which was ground breaking as it has a lead African American character who was not portrayed in a stereotypical role. Diahann is also a breast cancer surviver and activist and we salute her being a disruptive innovator in Hollywood for many many decades and we celebrate her continued good health #blackhistorymonth #disruptiveinnovator #DiahannCarroll #DominiqueDevereaux #BreastCancerSurviver #TonyAward
