WE LOST A LEGEND: Pioneering Actress Diahann Carroll Dies Of Cancer At 84

We just lost a legend. Pioneering actress Diahann Carroll has reportedly died of cancer. She was 84. More inside…

In extremely sad news, legendary actress Diahann Carroll has died, according to her daughter, Susan Kay. She was 84.

The Oscar nominated actress – who was the first African-American woman to star in a non-servant role in a TV series – died at her home in Los Angeles.

In 1993, the “Julia” star was diagnosed with breast cancer. She said the diagnosis stunned her because there was no family history of breast cancer and she always had a healthy lifestyle. Last year, she opened up to BlackDoctor.org about her diagnosis.

“I was absolutely positive that it would never be a part of my life ever. There was no family history. There was not even dialogue about cancer in my family.”

At the age of 58, doctors discovered a small lump in her left breast during a mammogram.

”The vanity was, I didn’t want anyone to know. I didn’t want the first thing they think when they hear my name, ‘She has cancer, you know’. I didn’t want my mother to know. I didn’t want my daughter to know. I just didn’t know what to deal with the feelings that were connected with having cancer. Then I thought, That’s pretty arrogant. There’s millions of women that have to deal with this every day. We have to work together. And it’s my responsibility to help them.”

After coming to terms with her diagnosis, she traveled the country speaking to groups in communities about the importance of early detection and prevention.

Diahann was also was a maverick for herself and black women. The audacity she showed in her most famous quotes "I wanted to be the first black b*tch on television" and "If you're not invited t the party, throw your own," is the audacity most of us aspire to daily.

Diahann’s career spans over 60 years in Hollywood. She became the first African-American woman to star in a non-servant role in a TV series. She played a middle-class single mother/nurse named Julia Baker whose husband had been killed in Vietnam in the 1968 sitcom “Julia.” NBC executives were hesitant about putting “Julia” on the network during the racial unrest of the 1960s, but it became an immediate hit, which aired from 1968 to 1971. The role was the first "non-stereotypical" black character on tv.

The iconic actress earned a Tony Award for the musical “No Strings” - the first black woman in a lead role to do so - and an Academy Award nomination for “Claudine.” She def was a trailblazer determined to defy the odds for black women working in Hollywood. She starred in plays that were considered exclusive territory for white actresses, such as “Same Time, Next Year,” ″Agnes of God” and “Sunset Boulevard.”

“I like to think that I opened doors for other women, although that wasn’t my original intention,” she said in 2002.

In the 80s, she starred in the “Dynasty” soap opera for three years, earning her the title of the Original Diva as Dominique Deveraux. She also guest starred as Marion Gilbert, the mother of Whitley Gilbert Wayne (played by Jasmine Guy) in the popular sitcom, "A Different World."

Most recently, she popped up in a number of small TV roles, including playing the mother of Isaiah Washington’s character, Dr. Preston Burke, on “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Diahann celebrated her 84th birthday on July 17th. She hung out with TV/film creator Lee Daniels:

Ethel Merman and the Boy Scout Show

S2;E19 ~ February 10, 1964

Synopsis

When Ethel Merman headlines the Annual Boy Scout Show, Lucy and Viv are relegated to being costumers. Feeling sorry for them, Merman agrees to share the spotlight.

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Vivian Vance (Vivian Bagley), Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney), Ralph Hart (Sherman Bagley) and Jimmy Garrett (Jerry Carmichael)

Candy Moore (Chris Carmichael) does not appear in this episode.

Guest Cast

Ethel Merman was born in Queens, New York, in 1908. Known primarily for her powerful belt voice and roles in musical theatre, she has been called 'the undisputed First Lady of the musical comedy stage.' Among her many stage credits are: Anything Goes (1934), DuBarry Was a Lady (1939), Annie Get Your Gun (1946), Call Me Madam (1950), and Gypsy (1959). “There's No Business Like Show Business” from Annie Get Your Gun became her signature song. It was also the title of a 1954 movie musical starring Merman. Hollywood was not always friendly to Merman, who was replaced for the film versions of Annie Get Your Gun (1950) by Betty Hutton, Gypsy (1962) by Rosalind Russell, and Dubarry Was A Lady (1943) by Lucille Ball! Dubarry Was A Lady also included the song “Friendship,” which was featured in “Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress” (ILL S3;E3). In 1934 Ball and Merman co-starred with Eddie Cantor in the film Kid Millions. Merman recreated her stage performances on TV in “Panama Hattie” (1954) and “Annie Get Your Gun” (1967). Merman died in 1984 from a long illness after a brain tumor.

LUCY: “You’d think she was the biggest star on Broadway.” VIV: “She is.”

This was the second of two episodes to feature Ethel Merman. Originally, they were intended to be one episode, filmed on December 5, 1963, but the material seemed rushed and the stars were enjoying the work so it was decided to expand into a second episode. The first draft of this script was dated November 20, 1963 with pink and blue pages (updates and changes) from December 1963.

The previous episode (which originally had this episode's title) was re-titled “Lucy Teaches Ethel Merman To Sing” and the final scene of it was rewritten to lead into this one. However, due to Merman's schedule, it wasn't filmed until a month later. By that time, Lucy had started wearing a new wig, Viv was tanned from a Christmas vacation, and Merman had changed her hair color. In between the two episodes, Desilu produced “Lucy Plays Florence Nightingale” (S2;E14), “Lucy Goes To Art Class” (S2;E15) and “Chris Goes Steady” (S2;E16).

These two Ethel Merman episodes were re-run on CBS on May 24 and June 1, 1964.

Lucy was a big fan of Ethel Merman and offered her a guest spot after her Desilu pilot “Maggie Brown” was not picked up for series. Lucille Ball and Gary Morton attended the filming of the pilot and Merman also was in the audience for an episode of “The Lucy Show.” On the DVD extras, Jimmy Garrett recalls that Lucille Ball caught him watching filming from the wings and whispered "Watch very carefully. You'll never see anyone better."

Vivian Vance understudied Ethel Merman as Reno Sweeney in the 1934 Broadway musicals Anything Goes and Red, Hot and Blue (1936), both by Cole Porter.

Merman is living with Lucy and Viv while she's in Danfield. Lucy and Viv were established as den mothers of their sons' scout troupe in “Lucy Visits the White House” (S1;E25).

Mr. Mooney's daughter Rosemary, who lives in Trenton, New Jersey, is about to give birth to his first grandchild. This is the fourth Mooney child to be mentioned on the series: Arnold, Bob, Ted Jr. and Rosemary. Like her mother, Irma, Rosemary is never actually seen. Lucille Ball briefly lived in Trenton, New Jersey, as an infant.

In the living room, Merman sings a few bars of “Red, Red Robin” with Jerry and Sherman dancing around her in bird costumes. "When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)" was a 1926 popular song written by Harry Woods. It was a big hit for Al Joleson, Bing Crosby, and Doris Day.

When Viv demands Lucy finish her costume right away, Lucy calls her a “wicked stepsister” - a reference to the fairy tale “Cinderella.” The line gets a large round of applause from the studio audience.

Lucy says the old manual sewing machine belongs in the Betsy Ross museum.

LUCY: “When I looked at the bobbin it was full of red, white, and blue thread.”

Coincidentally, as Lucy says this, she is wearing a blue shirt, with red and white tape measures around her neck.

Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Griscom Ross (1752–1836) is widely credited with making the first American flag. Although there is no actual Betsy Ross museum, the Betsy Ross House on Arch Street in Philadelphia is the location where she supposedly sewed the first flag, although this fact (and her residence there) is disputed by many historians. Betsy Ross was a character on “The Jack Benny Program” in 1964 (above) when Lucy played Mrs. Paul Revere!

Lucy tearfully tells Merman she’s always dreamed of having her ‘name up in lights’. She tediously spells out her full name: “L-U-C-I-L-L-E C-A-R-M-I-C-H-A-E-L”. Ethel replies “If you ever get to Broadway, you’ve got to get a shorter name!” Not coincidentally, Ethel Merman herself shortened her name for the marquee: she was born Ethel Agnes Zimmermann!

THE ANNUAL BOY SCOUT SHOW

Sherman does an acrobatic dance routine as an opening act

In “Lucy the Music Lover” (S1;E8), Sherman did a quick ballet dance through the living room to impress Lucy's date. Ralph Hart was also a musical theatre performer, seen in the film musicals Gypsy, The Music Man, and Bye Bye Birdie.

Jerry (in his scout uniform), tells a joke.

From his first audition for the series, Lucille Ball thought that Jimmy Garrett's dry delivery of his lines was hysterical.

The adult performers alternate in providing linking narration and paging the stage curtain to transition to the next act. Technically, the Boy Scout Show does not run in one continuous cut. The paging of the curtain allows for subtle edits in the film to piece together what were separate takes.

Merman, Lucy, Viv and Mr. Mooney sing “There's No Business Like Show Business”

The song is from Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun (1949). It will also be sung again the the Boy Scout Show's finale. Jerry spoke the title in the previous episode “Lucy Teaches Ethel Merman To Sing” (S2;E18).

VAUDEVILLE

Lucy does a quick juggling act.

The plates are obviously rigged for comic effect.

Mr. Mooney and Viv sing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", which was originally to be sung by Mr. Mooney and his wife Irma, had she not had to go to Trenton for the birth of their grandchild.

“Tiptoe Through the Tulips (with Me)” was composed by Joe Burke with lyrics by Al Dubin for the 1929 film Gold Diggers of Broadway. In 1968, it was sung by Tiny Tim, whose version charted at #17, becoming his signature song. Due to its resurgence in popularity, the title was also mentioned on several episodes of “Here’s Lucy”.

THE FLICKERS (aka SILENT MOVIES)

Lucy, Mr. Mooney, and Ethel Merman perform a silent movie sketch about a husband leaving his wife for another woman.

The sketch is pantomimed to honky-tonk piano accompaniment.

THE TALKIES

Viv as Shirley Temple sings "On the Good Ship Lollipop". Vivian Vance, an accomplished singer, makes a concerted effort to satirize the mannerisms and vocal limitations of a child performer like Shirley Temple.

"On the Good Ship Lollipop" was composed by Richard A. Whiting with lyrics by Sidney Clare. It was the signature song of child actress Shirley Temple, who first sang it in the 1934 movie Bright Eyes. Shirley Temple was mentioned on “I Love Lucy” in 1955's “The Tour” (ILL S4;E30), by which time the former child star was married and known as Shirley Temple Black.

BROADWAY MUSICALS

A tribute to 1920s stage musicals features Lucy, Viv, Ethel Merman and Mr. Mooney

In “Lucy Teaches Ethel Merman How To Sing” (S2;E18), Viv suggested dancing the Charleston for the Boy Scout Show, but the idea was shot down by producer Sherman. The sketch also features Gale Gordon doing a cartwheel, something he would do in future ‘show-within-a-show’ episodes. After being jilted, Lucy sings a few bars of “Am I Blue?” a song written by Harry Akst and Grant Clarke in 1929. It has since become a standard, covered by many musical artists. The sketch ends happily with Merman singing the final notes of her hit “I Got Rhythm”, a song she originated in the 1930 Gershwin musical Girl Crazy and also sang in the previous episode.

RADIO

Mr. Mooney is a radio host presenting a lady saxophone player (Lucy) from Altoona, Pennsylvania, playing "Glow Worm" (badly)

"The Glow-Worm" is a song from Paul Lincke's 1902 operetta Lysistrata. It was also used in the 1907 Broadway musical The Girl Behind The Counter. Lucille Ball had briefly played the saxophone as a child. During the radio sequence Mr. Mooney says “Round and round she goes! Where she stops, nobody knows!” This was a quote from “Ted Mack's Amateur Hour” a radio and TV talent show that began in 1934. A wheel of fortune was spun to determine the order of the performers and while it was spinning, Mack intoned the now-famous line. The show officially ended in 1970 but was revived briefly in 1993. Before entering television, Gale Gordon was the highest paid radio performer in Hollywood. Lucille Ball was also a radio performer with her own series “My Favorite Husband.”

TELEVISION

A tribute to “The Ed Sullivan Show” and its showcase of variety acts

To show the cyclic nature of entertainment, Lucy repeats the same exact juggling act she did at the start of the show. Ed Sullivan hosted an immensely popular variety show on CBS from 1948 to 1971. Up until 1955 it was called “Toast of the Town.” Ethel Merman frequently appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” often singing her signature songs.

FINALE

Ethel Merman sings "Everything's Coming Up Roses"

"Everything's Coming Up Roses" is a song introduced by Merman in the 1959 Broadway musical Gypsy with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Merman sang the song throughout her career, even to a disco beat!

Everyone joins in for a reprise of “There’s No Business Like Show Business”

After the filming was complete, Merman recalled that she and Vance went to Lucille Ball's house for some girl talk and Lucille styled their hair – to disastrous results. Ball also threw Merman a bridal shower (above) before her month-long marriage to Ernest Borgnine in 1964.

Callbacks!

Lucy Ricardo used a sewing machine for the first time in “Lucy Wants New Furniture” (ILL S2;E28).

Cheesy vaudeville gags such Lucy’s rigged plate juggling were an integral part of the finale of “Ethel's Home Town” (ILL S4;E15). Fred and Ethel Mertz were former vaudevillians.

In “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (ILL S3;E11), Lucy Ricardo and the Mertzes burst into an a capella rendition of “There’s No Business Like Show Business” in an impromptu audition for Mr. Parker, a Broadway producer. The song would also be quoted (not sung) by Lucy Ricardo in “Baby Pictures” (ILL S3;E5).

"When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)" was sung by Fred Mertz (William Frawley) in “Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress” (ILL S3;E3) and later by Lucy Carter in “Guess Who Owes Lucy $23.50″ (HL S1;E11).

Lucy also played “Glow Worm” on “The Saxophone” (ILL S2;E2) and in “Lucy’s Club Dance” (ILL S3;E25). It was the only song she knew, until it was inexplicably “Sweet Sue” during season six!

LUCY: “Well, you see, Ethel. All my life I’ve wanted to be in show business!”

Lucy sobs in front of Ethel Merman because all her life she wanted to be in the show, something Lucy Ricardo also did many times on “I Love Lucy.” The above line might easily have been spoken to Ethel Mertz or Ricky, instead of Merman.

When Merman agrees to give up one of her numbers for Lucy to be in the show, Viv asks Lucy if she would really let a big star like Merman do such a thing. Lucy lets out a high-pitched “Weeeelll” the same way that Lucy Ricardo often did.

In 1954, “The Ed Sullivan Show” (aka “Toast of the Town”) devoted an entire hour to Lucy and Desi. Sullivan’s name and his show were mentioned several times on “I Love Lucy.”

Lucy and Viv Charleston at the start of the ‘Broadway Musicals’ section of the Boy Scout Show. On “I Love Lucy” Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel Charleston at the end of “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (ILL S3;E11).

This is the second time a silent film skit has been part of “The Lucy Show.” The first was with Lucy as Charlie Chaplin during “Chris's New Year's Eve Party” (S1;E14).

Fast Forward!

Those red, red robins just keep bob, bob, bobbin’ again in “Kim Moves Out” (HL S4;E20) in 1974.

The Charleston never goes out of style, as demonstrated by Lucy and Kim Carter when “Ginger Rogers Comes to Tea” (HL S4;E11) on “Here’s Lucy” in 1971.

Blooper Alerts!

Flown the Coop! Although, Ethel Merman has Lucy make 24 robin costumes so that she can sing “When the Red, Red Robin” while the scouts dance around her, the song is not in the finished show!

Bulldog Cement? After the 1920's stage musical segment, Mr. Mooney's false mustache is falling off. It may have been due to spirit gum not adhering to Gale Gordon's own mustache or it may have been done for comic effect.

The Japanese Belly Button, 1977 dir. Eizo Sugawa

status: completed download here

**translation notes:**

・The opening scene features a play on the Japanese alphabet, “hiragana” (and/or “katakana”). The way it is ordered is first by initial vowels and then consonants added to the vows through consecutive row groupings: learning the Japanese alphabet is often done by reciting, “a-i-u-e-o” followed by the consonant additions "ka-ki-ku-ke-ko, sa-shi-su-se-so” and so on. Because of the versatility of the Japanese language, each final syllable in these rows can be swapped for an honorary suffix that has the same pronunciation - “ko”, for example, can also mean Duke or Lord, and “so” can also mean Priest. I’ve kept in these clever double entendres where possible, while keeping the consonant rows as is. ・ During the cast introductions in the opening scene, the Professor mentions that the man that plays the head of the Patriotic Youth Action Committee (not a real organisation I believe, but perhaps a reference to the Great Japan Patriotic Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Japan_Patriotic_Party) received shock as a result of the Emperor’s “self-denouncement”. This is a reference to Ningen Sengen, otherwise known as the ‘Humanity Declaration’, an announcement made by the Emperor in January 1946 that was essentially an official declaration that he was not part of a bloodline descended from the god Amaterasu. This understandably upset a lot of nationalists. Here is a great breakdown of the announcement itself: http://www.ageekinjapan.com/humanity-declaration-%E4%BA%BA%E9%96%93%E5%AE%A3%E8%A8%80-ningen-sengen/ ・Interestingly, the Japanese version of “like chalk and cheese”, which I opted to use in the translation, is “like the moon and a turtle”. ・Agnes Lum was primarily a bikini model in the 70s, which explains the comment that she wasn’t a very good singer. ・The scene where the Tokyo University student introduces the method of Japanese-English word association features a lot of Japanese onomatopoeic expressions. As I’ve included in the subtitles, words like hatto can mean “taken aback”, but of course also spells out the Japanese phonetic pronunciation of the English word “hat”. The scene plays on these witty associations, also including do-gu do-gu which is the sound of pumping liquid (probably), and pakupaku which is the sound of someone eating. ・The Tokyo University student refers to the cleaning shop owner as a “Tora-san lookalike” - Tora-san is an incredibly popular and well-loved character from the comedy series “Otoko wa Tsurai yo”, whom Wikipedia refers to as “a kind-hearted vagabond who is always unlucky in love”. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otoko_wa_Tsurai_yo)

・A little different from the Western connotation, “cabaret” in Japanese means an adult club where men go to be entertained by hostesses. ・In the Turkish baths scene, there is a play on the Japanese word sei, which can refer to someone’s pure spirit or sperm/semen - which works out fantastically given the situation it is used in in the movie. The proper Japanese word for “semen” can be literally translated to “spirit fluid”. ・Also in the Turkish baths massage scene, there is an extensive play on words that only makes sense in Japanese. It’s nearly impossible to translate this scene while retaining the rhyming rhythm against the nonsensical meaning of each of the words - so I simply chose to go the nonsensical route. The conversation Helen has with her customer isn’t particularly important, but I’ve attempted to at least clearly illustrate when they start talking about the strip club, which leads Helen to become a stripper. ・The repetitive song featuring the lyrics “How do you write the ‘i’ in ‘i-ro-ha’?” is referencing an old Japanese ordering of syllables: “i-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to”. This particular order of syllables, still often used today, was used in somewhat the same way that English sometimes uses Roman numerals or the Greek ordering of alpha-beta-gamma and so on; for example, the notes from A to G on a piano are often referenced using this system: A is “i”, B is “ro”, C is “ha” and so on. The “iroha” ordering system is also often referred to as what we call “the ABCs of something” - for example, when learning something for the first time you have to start with the ABCs, or the “iroha” if you will. ・During the “Japan’s bosses” song, one character sings a lot about love between men. He uses the Japanese verb horu which can mean to dig into or dig out, but is often used to allude to anal sex; while before that he uses the verb horeru which not only sounds similar but means “to be in love with”. I tried to bridge the gap between all these entendres by using the word “into”. Elsewhere in the same song, there is a section about the importance of “faces” in Japan. The word for “face”, kao, can also mean your influence or reputation, to the point where having a wide network and well-known reputation is expressed with a phrase that literally means “your face is wide”. Luckily in English we have (or used to have) expressions that are similar, such as “to save face”, which are used in this translation too. Again in the same “bosses” song, one character mentions haragei, which literally means “belly art/technique”, and pertains to a certain Japanese culture of expressing intent through implication. It’s a word that doesn’t exactly have an English translation, but given the context, I chose to describe it as “battle it out with personalities”, which is essentially what the character is referring to when talking about Japan's politicians and their bellies. ・During the investigation scene towards the end, Funayama’s secretary mentions Kosuke Kindaichi, who, like Agatha Christie’s Poirot, was a famous detective character featured extensively in the mystery novels of Seishi Yokomizo. ・Funayama’s secretary passively references a host of one-liner catch phrases mostly from Japanese commercials of the 70s, as a way of saying “the times are changing”. I’ve decided to keep the catch phrases in almost verbatim, but for most of us who are unlikely to have watched lots of television in Japan in the 70s, here are some videos of the commercials he references for some background: - “Happa fumi—fumi”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfGBiQsvbHE - “I Am A Champion”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_HMJtSP14
