The Legs Are the Last to Go
“This true American treasure shares her life’s story to date with the wit, incisive discernment, and charm of a relaxed storyteller. I laughed at the stunning descriptions of countless escapades filled with fun and admired her strong work ethic and her brilliant way of relating it all. A wondrous, exceptional life in front of and away from the public’s ever curious eye.”
Jessye Norman
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.
