Nell Carter was so lovable and indelible, it's still shocking to me she died over 20 years ago at just 54.
Today, she'd be 75, and there's no telling what she may have accomplished.
I see her as a latter-day Judy Garland — horrible childhood, gave birth after rape, poverty, some good show-biz successes, but a continuing avalanche of personal heartache.
Though married twice to men, when she died, she had been with a woman for over 15 years. (Remember Gimme a Break!'s gay episode?)

Madonna shot a fabulous ad for Pepsi — Queen of Pop, don't ya know — back in 1989, one that arrived with as much hype as the Second Coming. By the time it debuted, her then-controversial “Like a Prayer” music video was out, featuring Madonna in a slip kissing a Black Jesus and dancing meaningfully before burning crosses. Pepsi got cold feet and vanquished its stunning ad, shot by Joe Pytka and choreographed by Vincent Paterson, to the vaults.
Now that PepsiCo is turning 125, the brand has re-embraced Madonna and her ad, uploading it to their YouTube and promoting a re-airing of this and other iconic celeb-anchored ads during next week's MTV VMAs.
Wait long enough, and Madonna always wins.
