About this listen

The actress who broke through television’s color bar, entertainment legend Diahann Carroll tells all in her candid memoir The Legs Are the Last to Go. The first black woman to star in her own TV series—NBC’s Julia—Carroll displays all the grace, wit, style, and honesty that carried her to the top as she reveals intimate details about her career, her life, and her loves, including her marriage to Vic Damone and her torrid relationship with Sidney Poitier. The Legs Are the Last to Go is an unforgettable self-portrait and revealing Hollywood memoir at its finest.

Ms.Carroll writes her memories the same as her professional image: full of class! I finished the book hoping so much to have lived in her life and been her friend. I loved the wonderful self confidence that she has exuberated throughout her life and never for one second expressed regret, bitterness or presented herself less than perfection in every part of her live. I loved the book and highly recommend it to anyone who longs for the golden age!

Class in everyway!
