Diana Ross's Supreme Tragedy


It’s no surprise that Diana Ross was Motown’s biggest breakout star. After all, she clearly had the drive to make it to the top…and she wasn’t afraid to step on a few people on her way up the ladder. But no amount of ambition could save Ross from a life filled with scandal and heartbreak behind the scenes—from the shocking affairs and dark secrets, to the dire tragedy that nearly destroyed her.

Diana Ross—who was actually born Diane—grew up as one of six siblings, but she always made sure she stood out. It was clear from a very young age that Diana was on a path of her own, and that she wouldn’t let anyone get in her way. Unfortunately, she learned the hard way that life doesn’t always bend to your will early on.
