u get the feeling that rupaul modelled his female persona after diahann carroll/dominique deveraux?? catch this scene and tell me whether im right or wrong.
First of all, forget like, I LOVED this scene! Secondly I love when Dominique said, 'Ciao, for now,' lol so cool and so sleek she slipped right out of the room as mysteriously as she came in. Wow to the ciao!
@50what is she saying? A friend thinks she said "clothes and jewels" but she is looking at champagne glass as she says it. Sounds like she said "clofesen jewels." Type of glass?
@musclenigga09 She was saying, " Do you think these clothes and jewels are those of your everyday journalist?" She looked at the glass, because she examining the champagne. Note that Alexis drinks it before her and doesn't realize that her champagne is inferior.
I am 23 and a woman and while I knew of Ms. Carroll, I am in awe of her class and beauty from watching clips of this show! I don't see too much of this from black actresses anymore and I wish there were more! Such a supreme woman!
This is the issue I think the writers had. They may have wanted to make Dominique into a super bitch to compete with Alexis, HOWEVER- at the time black actresses in a show like Dynasty were rare so what it would look like if the most recognisable black actress on tv was playing a money grabbing bitch out to disrupt the wealth of white brother's family.
The writers did the right thing by making her a nice person BUT more could have been done to strengthen her character.
Wow,I was a kid when this show came out in the 80's. I was just doing some research on Diane Carroll here on U-Tube and came across this. I am watching tv at the moment but found myself glude to this instead. Now I see why my mom wanted to hurry up and put me to bed when this came on...lol
From what I've read & heard, the writers thought about making Dominique either Cecil's 1st wife or Kirby's mother. I personally think they should've did both of these things instead of making her Blake's sister, b/c both of those other plotlines would've dished up better material: Dominique sueing Alexis for shares in ColbyCo, getting involved in Colby affairs & messing w/ not only Alexis but also Sable, & being a mother to Kirby (both Kathleen Beller & Diahann had the exact same bone structure)
Me, again! I have searched for "OSSETROVA" caviar, and found no such product. My guess is she could not demean the ever popular OSSETRA caviar by preferring PETROSSIAN-BELUGA. Perhaps some legal nonsense...
You are clearly a Dynasty addict, as I am. What about the scene where Krystal and Alexis are at some "facial" spa, and Krystal overheard Alexis gossip and slings mud in her face! It's fabulous. Can't find it anywhere...
love the "burned" champagne & caviar exchange and the way these two go tit for tat... dominique left alexis picking up her face off of her penthouse floor in this scene!
@kiddiequeenofmotown i was fortunate a few years ago to be sitting at a table next to her in a restaurant and she is STILL beautiful. we exhanged a few pleasantries. will never forget that moment.
I love how @3:00 she says "you will find out very soon...very soon"....reminds me of someone who fucked with me....who is about to get fucked majorly.....in time....in due time.
Whatever. I don't care what ANYONE says, Dominique trumped Alexis in this scene. She doesn't in all their scenes together but she DEFINITELY owned THIS scene!
ALADDIN GEE--If this was crap i would say so but i love it so i sub can you sub back i rate your video thumbs up great talent you got keep it up if i did not send you a friend requet please sen me one youtube only let you sen a few at a time much love to your page i love the video thats why i took time to leave this comment
"OMG....can you say amazing acting. Diahann Carroll a.k.a. Carroll Diahann (which is her real name) served it up with superb excellence for this scene and every scene for this show. She is one of the best all-around versitale actresses in the business, even though she always seems to play this type of character in any role i've seen her in.
I now understand why Vanessa L. Williams is being hailed in the media as the modern-day Diahann Carroll. She's plays the same type of characters like her.
@FlowerDrumS0ng Petrossian Beluga is the rarest type of Beluga available, with an extremely small production and prices reaching almost $25,000 per kilogram.
"CIAO!" "For now!" The best line in the entire show delivered by Academy Award Nominee Diahann Carroll in one of her many flawless performances. Such class and beauty.
It's a shame the show was canceled before Diahann could make a return appearance. I could just see her teaming up with Sable to make Alexis miserable.
and my young friends dare to wonder why I absolutely DESPISE Reality TV programmes. Soap's Flash & Trash Extraordinaire by 2 of our generations finest actresses.
The individual who uploaded this scene was in error that Diahann Carroll and her character Domonique Deveraux did not live up to the potential, Ms. Carrol as usual was flawless in her memorable performance...A woman of distinction and classic elegance...oooh la laaaaa...
@cephas39 Correction - the individual who uploaded this scene does think the actress was flawless and memorable, but it was the writers who failed her miserably by giving her weak material unworthy of her immense potential. Especially in her latter appearances as you'll soon see in the "Dominique" series on my channel.
@LBColby Wow! I couldn't agree more. The writers started her off strong and then somewhere along the line, they watered her character down. A woman of her distinctive elegance and sophistication was certainly deserving of better material. After all she did say in an interview that she wanted to be "The First Black Wealthy Bitch" on TV.
@alexanderdiaz1 I completely agree. She started giving dat same ol tired speech of how sh had fought plenty of people worse den Alexis. (lol yea right). I think after she coughed up da blood on stage was da beginning of da end 4 her. Da writers also did not know wat 2 do wit her love life either. Wit all dat sed dis is 1 of her best scenes on da show and da only time I saw a hint of fear in Alexis's eyes.
But you wouldn't serve Osetrova to someone who knows their caviar. The hint in that scene was Dominque obviously pulled a couple things off the shelf to serve her unknown guest....only to find out the guest was a lot more knowledgeable than she bargained for.
This put the character in the position of being on the defensive...a place that Alexis Colby had no grasp for.
This show was absolute genius..10 cuts above Dallas.
I don't understand, (I'm not exactly savvy on how champagne and other alcholic drinks work particularly becuase I'm not a drinker) how can champagne be burned if it was frozen??
Once champagne has been frozen, it can and most likely will lose its "taste". A simple way to describe it is like freezing a bottle of soda, then allowing it to thaw. The "taste" of the soda will have lost its "flavor" due to the freezing/thawing process. Just a simpler way of describing what "burned" means in this instance.
...precisely what quothi said... you just have to think of the phrase "freezer burn", as we would usually apply it to food. The after effect leaves a very bland, tasteless result... it's shameful for the host/hostess to serve an indication of complete disregard for their guests' pleasure and comfort...or just a plain sign that they have no knowledge of general culinary ettiquette...
Actually, these ladies are holding their flutes properly. They are sitting, so holding your flute by the stem while sitting doesn't allow for "balance".
She said insulted the Champagne calling it burnt and she doesn't eat Asatrov Caviar, but Petrosium Beluga...I love it. Alexis couldn't handle Dominique Deveraux
I'm sure Diahann Carroll said they stopped writing good scripts for her character when they canned The Colbys and put Stephanie Beacham in Dynasty to be Alexis's main nemesis. Brits are better at being bitchy and OTT with it so she didn't stand a chance.
Although it seems Diahann Carroll (a no-nonsense sophisticated black woman) would be the ideal foe for Alexis, I found Sable to be a more formidable villian.
she could have been but they didn't develop her character (Dominique) to really be a formidable foe, sad, she was just there as you said for decoration.
I totally disagree...You have to remember that it was the 80's and that having a purely evil black character like Alexis or J.R would not have gone down very well with the African American community and the politically correctness of the time. A good actor is a good actor regardless of his/her nationality.
We WANTED Dominque to be a thorough bitch in those days, there was never a character like before that. A black person (man or woman) who was a formidable threat and an equal to a very sophisticate to the white establishment.
That statement reeks of being clueless of the times then. I'm guessing you're either not black, or you don't remember the 80's well.
This was the Regan era, and those were characters of the times..wealthy, beautiful, and greedy. Being a bitch was a plus!
yeah but she did F all lol herself and the actress acted all Ohh i'm playing a great bitch to add something.... when really she pretty much did nothing only lost to alexis like everybody else :P
I think for the most part the show was filmed on a set and the outside house shots were at Filoli. That's my dream house, but estates such as that are EXPENSIVE to maintain. I'd need Bill Gates' money to have that home and probably would still have to offer tours of the estate to maintain it...lol.
What I found funny is that Dominique managed to say that Alexis was one of the planet's natural beauty without cracking up! Both are sitting there in wigs and tons of makeup, bras and what else holding them together and talk about natural beauties.LOL! Still, the battle of the bitches it's fun to watch even after all these years!
That's true. It is to be admired how someone stays strong in staying young-looking and vibrant, which has a lot more to do with plastic surgery, makeup or wigs, it's the joi de vivre from inside. Joan Collins has proven that til this day.
As for Diahann Carrol she has beaten cancer and that makes her a great survivor.
but joan collins was beautiful inher young years........butin order to have good work done you have to have good stuff to start with...........miss carrol was a natural beautiful.......again she had good stuff to start with.thats why her work looks good inher 70s.
Joan Collins will always be beautiful no matter how old she gets. She has discovered that every age has its enchantment and lives her her own rules. She still a fascinating creature.
DC, played the shit out of that role... I remember seeing her for the first time and I was like damn a black woman can be classy, beautiful, intelligent and bitchy... It was great... now all we is Flavor of Love chics... lmao

she could have been but they didn't develop her character (Dominique) to really be a formidable foe, sad, she was just there as you said for decoration.

True, i agree w/you :-)

I totally disagree...You have to remember that it was the 80's and that having a purely evil black character like Alexis or J.R would not have gone down very well with the African American community and the politically correctness of the time. A good actor is a good actor regardless of his/her nationality.

We WANTED Dominque to be a thorough bitch in those days, there was never a character like before that. A black person (man or woman) who was a formidable threat and an equal to a very sophisticate to the white establishment.
That statement reeks of being clueless of the times then. I'm guessing you're either not black, or you don't remember the 80's well.
This was the Regan era, and those were characters of the times..wealthy, beautiful, and greedy. Being a bitch was a plus!

Since Dominic role did not live up to its early promises, the producers of the show obviously did not give a rat's arse about what you wanted!!!

is all of the show taken from ''FiLoLi''california?

I think for the most part the show was filmed on a set and the outside house shots were at Filoli. That's my dream house, but estates such as that are EXPENSIVE to maintain. I'd need Bill Gates' money to have that home and probably would still have to offer tours of the estate to maintain it...lol.

What I found funny is that Dominique managed to say that Alexis was one of the planet's natural beauty without cracking up! Both are sitting there in wigs and tons of makeup, bras and what else holding them together and talk about natural beauties.LOL! Still, the battle of the bitches it's fun to watch even after all these years!

LOL - that is exactly what I thought when I first saw this clip, lol!

They're both really natural beauties then and now, only that line was so off.
Oreon207 2 years ago
That may be true. However, even though it was television, how many their age have themselves put together?
quothi 2 years ago
That's true. It is to be admired how someone stays strong in staying young-looking and vibrant, which has a lot more to do with plastic surgery, makeup or wigs, it's the joi de vivre from inside. Joan Collins has proven that til this day.
As for Diahann Carrol she has beaten cancer and that makes her a great survivor.
Oreon207 2 years ago
but joan collins was beautiful inher young years........butin order to have good work done you have to have good stuff to start with...........miss carrol was a natural beautiful.......again she had good stuff to start with.thats why her work looks good inher 70s.

Joan Collins will always be beautiful no matter how old she gets. She has discovered that every age has its enchantment and lives her her own rules. She still a fascinating creature.
