It's conventional wisdom that Hollywood has no use for a woman over forty. So it's a good thing that Diahann Carroll -- whose winning, sometimes controversial career breached racial barriers -- is anything but conventional. Shonda Rimes, the producer of the hit show Grey's Anatomy, created a role just for her and a recent, critically acclaimed show that's touring the U.S., "The Life and Times of Diahann Carroll" was hailed by The New York Times as "historic." And all this since she turned seventy!

It's been twenty years since she's opened up about her life in Diahann Carroll and here she opens up with a candidness reserved for those who have seen or done it all. With wisdom that only aging gracefully can bestow, she talks frankly about her four marriages and other affairs, including her courtship with Sidney Poitier, racial politics in Hollywood and on Broadway, and the personal cost, particularly on her family of being a pioneer. Whether she's recalling an audition for Andrew Lloyd Weber's Sunset Blvd, reflecting on her engagement to David Frost, or talking candidly about her brush with Breast Cancer, Carroll's storied history, blunt views, and notorious wit, will be sure to entertain.
