“Fun fact about my life: I can ask Google for details about my life that I forget or am unaware of… I found this staggering …Did you know that from 1976 to 1985 (Rhonda was born ‘71, me ‘72, & Chudney ‘75), my mama @dianaross put out an album a year, did multiple tours, produced and starred in a variety of TV specials, shot Mahogany and The Wiz, produced her legendary 1983 Central Park concert with an estimated 800,000 attendees (when the first night of the show got rained out, she chose to pay for and re-do it the next night), left Motown, purchased an entire floor of a prestigious Fifth Avenue building, bought an estate outside of New York, and an office building where she where she manufactured Diana Ross Pantyhose and other merchandise, and other huge personal life moments?
