1989. ‘Call Her Miss Ross’ an unauthorized biography on Diana Ross, portrait of the star

1989. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show hosts Randy Taraborrelli, author of ‘Call Her Miss Ross’. Randy claims to have conducted over 400 interviews with family, friends and associates of Diana Ross in support of his book. Although lawyers for Diana warned about publishing the unauthorized bio, Randy went ahead, after giving the star and her legal team time to review. He was the founder of the original Diana Ross & the Supremes fan club.

The conversation starts about Diana’s beginnings, her split with the Supremes, and later in the show about her relationships and marriages. We also hear from Billy Ballard, brother of Florence Ballard, who performed with Diana Ross as part of the Supremes. Briefly from Nile Rodgers, a record producer who works with the star, for another side of the story.

Diana Ross remains active in public life, winning the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023.
