Au revoir, Mrs. Ellington

[sandy79]

Sad news: Diahann Carroll, the wonderful actress that played June Ellington in the six seasons of "White Collar", has died at the age of 84 years, due to cancer. Here are two videos of her on the show

1) the fateful Goodwill shop meeting

"Neal meets June" (Watch on YouTube)

2) the surprising duet that not only left Peter and Elizabeth speechless

"Neal Caffrey singing One For My Baby" (Watch on YouTube)

RIP, Mrs. Carroll, you're surely be missed.

It looks like DW ate my comment.

I am sad to see this. She was such a great addition to the story. It's too bad fandom is so not active because we should do something in her name. Like the old Month of June challenge.

Oh, we definitely should do something. I never heard of "Month of June", though.

It was a lot of fun. Sadly it had been quiet for a while. :(

Thanks for these. Carroll was always a class act, and it was a joy to see her perfectly cast on White Collar.

[sandy79]

She definitely was.
