Diahann Carroll and Richard Kiley on Broadway in the 1962 musical, “No Strings.” The iconic composer, Richard Rodgers (Rodgers & Hammerstein) conceived the role of Barbara Woodruff, a fashion model in Paris who falls in love with a white writer from Maine (Mr. Kiley) with Ms. Carroll in mind. She won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical (tied with Anna Maria Alberghetti in Carnival!) for her work. Photo: Bettman/Corbis
