Happy Birthday Diahann Carroll!! (7/17/14)
On September 17, 1968 Diahann Carroll would change the face of television as nurse Julia. It was the first television series to depict an African-American woman in a non-stereotypical role.

She delivered the mail sitting on the coach smoking a big cigar, sometimes having to fight her way through blizzards and fend off attacks by wolves. She was past seventy when she decided to retire from the mail delivery job and open a laundry…Fields didn’t lose her spirit. Legend has it that she once punched a man and knocked him onto the street because he neglected to pay his laundry bill.
