Julia (television)
Julia was a groundbreaking television series which was the first to show an African American main character in a non-stereotypical role. The show starred actress and singer Diahann Carroll and ran on NBC from 1968 to 1971.
In the past, other series, such as Beulah, had had the main characters as maids, or other subservient roles. In Julia, Carroll played a single mother who was a nurse in a doctor's office. The doctor was played by Lloyd Nolan , and Julia's romantic interests by Paul Winfield and Fred Williamson.
