Diahann Carroll stars in Lifetime movie "The Front"

Thanks to the folks at DiahannCarroll.net for the tipoff that the lovely Ms. Carroll, our own Dominique Devereaux of "Dynasty" will star in a new Lifetime movie based on a novel by Patricia Cornwell.

"The Front," which airs this Saturday at 9 p.m. Eastern, features Win Garano, an investigator for an ambitious Boston district attorney, who investigates a homicide involving "The Front," a coalition of local police departments serving the outlying Boston communities. Daniel Sunjata plays Win Garano. Andie MacDowell is Monique Lamont. Ashley Williams appears as Stump, a detective with whom Garono becomes romantically linked. Carroll plays Garano's grandmother, Nana.

To keep up with Carroll, who will also be bringing her acclaimed one-woman show “The Lady ... The Music ... The Legend” to PBS as part of their fund-raising program on U.S public television stations in August 2010, watch the news page on her official site.
