Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams were a popular tandem in theaters with the hits 'Mahogany' (1975) and 'Lady Sings the Blues' (1972). Three decades since audiences saw last them together, Oprah Winfrey put them together again today on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated).Winfrey already had Ross on the show and, she said, in the spirit of Winfrey's final-season reunions, she brought Williams out onstage. The three exchanged warm embraces once Williams entered.
"I take full responsibility because my staff said to me, 'Di -- Miss Ross -- she does not want any surprises,'" said Winfrey. Thankfully, it seemed to turn out well. You never want to surprise a diva.
