FEINSTEIN'S AT THE REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine, a "throwback to the classic era of supper club entertainment" by Time Out New York, and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post, continues its Spring 2007 season with the return engagement of award-winning entertainer DIAHANN CARROLL from March 6 – 17. The new show "Both Sides Now," features songs and stories from her legendary career. Her show last year – which marked the first time Ms. Carroll performed in a New York nightclub in four decades – played to sold-out houses and was called "historic" by The New York Times. All performances are at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).

DIAHANN CARROLL is one of America's major performing talents, appearing on the Broadway stage, in nightclubs, motion pictures and television. Ms. Carroll is a Tony Award winner, an Emmy and Grammy nominee, a Golden Globe winner and a Best Actress Oscar nominee.

In 1968, Ms. Carroll became the first black actress in television history to star in her own series, "Julia" for NBC, which soared to the top of the Nielsen rating and received an Emmy nomination in its first year on the air. In 1989 she was nominated for an Emmy Award for the successful NBC TV series, "A Different World", as outstanding actress in a comedy series. In 1984 Ms. Carroll became the first black actress to star in the award winning night time series "Dynasty," which is still in syndication around the world.

She had a recurring role in Showtime's hit series "Soul Food," playing the outspoken 'Aunt Ruthie,' for which she was nominated twice for a NAACP Image Award. She guest starred in Lifetime TV's "Strong Medicine" and in NBC's TV show "Whoopi," playing Whoopi Goldberg's mother. In 2004 she starred on stage in the musical Bubbling Brown Sugar receiving critical acclaim. In 1995 she starred on stage as 'Norma Desmond' in the Toronto premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical Sunset Boulevard, staged by director Trevor Nunn and the show's entire original creative team. She played to sell-out crowds and her Canadian cast recording outsold all other recordings of the show.

Diahann made her Broadway stage debut starring in Harold Arlen and Truman Capote's House of Flowers. After seeing her in this production, Richard Rodgers created the Broadway musical No Strings as a starring vehicle for Ms. Carroll, for which she won the Tony Award. She also starred on Broadway in the play Agnes of God. Her film work includes Claudine, for which she received a 1974 Best Actress Academy Award nomination, Carmen Jones, Paris Blues, Porgy & Bess, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and Eve's Bayou.

Ms. Carroll's new memoir will be published by Harper Collins in 2007. A new PBS documentary on her life, An Evening With Diahann Carroll, recently aired on PBS stations around the country.

FEINSTEIN'S AT THE REGENCY will play the following schedule for this engagement: Tuesday through Saturday at 8:30 PM. All shows have a $75 cover and a $40 minimum. Jackets are suggested but not required. FEINSTEIN'S AT THE REGENCY is located at 540 Park Avenue at 61st Street in New York City.
