Diahann Carroll Vs. Siân Phillips
Propaganda
Diahann Carroll - (Dynasty, Julia) - God every clip of her on Dynasty is just so iconic, her entrance, the bit where she shades Joan Collins' Alexis for her taste in caviar... "I wanted to be the first black bitch on television" she said, and she did it beautifully!
Siân Phillips - (I Claudius) - I Claudius was such a good show and her performance as Livia is one of the all time greats, imo. That character will always be THE bad bitch to me, and the writing was amazing but it was really her performance that made the character so devious and fun to watch, but also really complicated and compelling, and her line delivery is pretty much unmatched.
