• Julia is an American sitcom best remembered as being one of the first weekly series to depict an African American woman in a non-stereotypical role. Previous television series featured African American lead characters, but the characters were usually servants. The show starred actress and singer Diahann Carroll, and ran for 86 episodes on NBC from September 17, 1968 to March 23, 1971. Carroll was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1969, and won the Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress in a Television Series" in 1968. Carroll played widowed single mother Julia Baker (her fighter pilot husband had been shot down in Vietnam) who was a nurse in a doctor's office. Julia's romantic interests were played by Paul Winfield and Fred Williamson.
