Diana Sands
Diana Sands (August 22, 1934September 21, 1973) was an American actress, perhaps most famous for her portrayal of Beneatha Younger, the sister of Sidney Poitier's character in the original stage and film versions of Lorraine Hansberry's ''A Raisin in the Sun'' (1961). She also appeared in a number of dramatic television series in the sixties and seventies such as ''I Spy'', as Davala Unawa in the 1967 ''The Fugitive'' episode "Dossier on a Diplomat", Dr. Harrison in the ''Outer Limits'' episode "The Mice", and ''Julia''. Sands also starred in the 1963 film ''An Affair of the Skin'' as the narrator and photographer, Janice.
==Biography==
A member of the Actors Studio, Sands' performance in the Studio's 1964 production of James Baldwin's ''Blues for Mr. Charlie'' was a highlight of that show, and one which would be sorely missed during its subsequent London engagement when Sands had already committed to co-starring with Alan Alda in the original Broadway production of ''The Owl and the Pussycat'' (1964) for which she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Sands was culled eight years later to provide a track for the Original New York Cast album of ''Free to Be... You and Me''. Unfortunately, she had died by the time the ABC Afterschool Special had begun production and her previously recorded vocal track was not selected for inclusion. In 1970, Sands co-starred in the film ''The Landlord'', and appeared in ''Doctors' Wives'' the following year. In his memoirs, Bob Dylan tells of meeting Ms. Sands at a party and states that she was, "an electrifying actress who I might have been secretly in love with..."
In 1974 she starred in ''Willie Dynamite'', and was set to star in the film ''Claudine'' with James Earl Jones. However, she was too ill to accept the role and it went to her friend Diahann Carroll. She was twice nominated for a Tony Award, and twice nominated for an Emmy Award as well. She died of leiomyosarcoma at aged 39.
Junior High School 147, located in the Bronx, New York, was named in Sands' honor.
