Diahann Carroll, the elegant star of stage and screen who changed the course of television history as the first African American woman to star in a non-stereotypical role, in 1968's ground-breaking sitcom "Julia," and to win a lead actress Tony Award, has died. She was 84.
The Oscar-nominated actress and breast cancer survivor, who also starred in "Dynasty" and "White Collar," died of cancer, her daughter Suzanne Kay told the Associated Press on Friday.
