Biografie und Filmografie

Diahann Carroll

Diahann Carroll (geboren als Carol Diahann Johnson; 17. Juli 1935 – 4. Oktober 2019) war eine US-amerikanische Schauspielerin, Sängerin und Model. Sie erlangte Berühmtheit durch ihre Rollen in einigen der ersten großen Studiofilme mit schwarzer Besetzung, darunter „Carmen Jones“ (1954) und „Porgy and Bess“ (1959). 1962 gewann Carroll als erste schwarze Frau einen Tony Award als beste Hauptdarstellerin für ihre Rolle im Broadway-Musical „No Strings“.

Ihr Debüt 1968 in „Julia“, der ersten US-amerikanischen Fernsehserie mit einer schwarzen Hauptdarstellerin in einer nicht-stereotypen Rolle, war ein Meilenstein sowohl für ihre Karriere als auch für das Fernsehen. In den 1980er-Jahren spielte sie die Rolle einer interrassischen Diva in der Primetime-Seifenoper „Dynasty“.

Carroll erhielt zahlreiche Bühnen- und Filmnominierungen und -auszeichnungen, darunter den Golden Globe Award als Beste Hauptdarstellerin in einer Fernsehserie im Jahr 1968. Für ihre Rolle in dem Film „Claudine“ aus dem Jahr 1974 wurde sie für den Oscar als Beste Hauptdarstellerin nominiert. Sie war außerdem Brustkrebsüberlebende und engagierte sich in der Krebsforschung.
