TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY or MATT LAUER'S HEADLINERS AND LEGENDS, and with no participation from her, although the latter did include her sister Rita.
Circa 1993, in the midst of her SECRETS OF A SPARROW blitz, Diana was supposed to be producing a mini-series on her career. During one of her honors, they showed a bit of she and Rhonda walking through the Brewster Projects and I think it was from this project. Circa 1999, again there was talk that she was doing something on the Supremes and this was mentioned briefly during her Oprah appearance that year. But nothing has materialized from either project.
I also think that Diana might be a bit fearful of revealing her true feelings about some of her past, particularly the Motown years. Everyone else has had their say and she deserves the same. She's almost damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
