Diahann Carrol died at the age of 84.
Diahann Carroll, an all-intensive singer and expert actress who left behind on television on the issue of coloured women in the 1960s playing a single nurse and mother, died Friday at the age of 84, her manager said, Yahoo, broadcasts the news.net.
She had suffered from cancer and passed away in her home in Los Angeles, having the girl next to her, said manager Brian Panella, over the phone.
She had been fighting this disease for some time and did not want the world to know”, said Panella, who had managed her career for 20 years.
She played Julia Baker, a nurse fighting to raise a young man after her husband was killed in the Vietnam War.
With this show that took place in three seasons, she won a Golden Globe award, it was a voice for African-American women who had just begun to make small-screen entry at the time.
It never wanted to be praised for anything in this regard,” said Panella.
The actress continued to play numerous roles, mainly on television shows and TV films, until just a few years ago.
