Anything's Possible: Diana Sands & Civil Rights on Stage and Screen - Paperback

by Joel Lobenthal (Author), Steve Willis (Author)

"Diana Sands was a comet. Brilliant, singular, and gone far too soon. In her short time with us, she left a body of work so rich and fearless it still ripples through generations of artists who follow. To watch her was to see possibility itself take the stage: a woman, yes, Black, rendered with nuance, intelligence, beauty, and depth at a time when the world rarely allowed it. Good thing Diana Sands never asked for anyone's permission.

"Steve Willis and Joel Lobenthal's beautiful book is not just a record of her life and career, it is a resurrection of her voice, her light, and her rightful place in the pantheon of American theater and film. Diana Sands deserves to be remembered not for what was cut short, but for what she achieved, and for the worlds she opened for those of us who came after. I've been compared to Diana, but I know I am only a shadow of her greatness, she remains the true blaze by which so many of us found our way."
