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.

It was a ride through her life! She was brutally honest about her challenges, and her voice brought so much life to her adventures that it felt like an experience for the listener as well! A Great listen!!!

Loved it All!!

I was throughly impressed by this work of art. However, I expected nothing less that from such a keen, intelligent, and wise beauty! Her ability to tell a story from decade to decade and still capture your attention was everything. I lived her transparency and her ability to make the audience feel as though you were there conversing with her. I recommend everyone to read/listen to this book whether you were a fan or not. But who am I kidding, you either love her or hate her because you want to be her!

Phenomenal or Delightful

this was a compelling story and such new information about our beloved Diahann, Though I will never understand why some women ( even those we think our Strong) allow Men to be abusers... I would have kick their ass, you got to catch them when they are most 'vulnerable' ie sleeping, taken a shit or doing something they love - come at them when they least expect = do unto others as they will do unto you Surprise the MF. On a positive note, several of her noted quotes from her Mother, were those my Mother shared with me, LOVE Diahann, RIP You are missed

If we only knew, you are loved!

Brains and beauty, a perfect combination!
