Wiz. Her private life also took
a beating: her five-year mar
riage ended in divorce in 1976,
and she moved with their
three daughters to New York’s
Central Park West.
She rebounded in 1979 when
her new album, The Boss,
went gold, and she continued
her streak with 1980’s Diana,
which went platinum; it also
produced three ToplO singles.
In 1985, the pop diva married
Norwegian millionaire Arne
Naess. She hit the charts
again, in 1991, with The Force
Behind the Power. In 1994, she
starred in Out of Darkness, a
movie of the week on ABC in
which she played a schizo
phrenic who is repeatedly
institutionalized.

ROSS
d only to the
Beatles in ‘60s record
sales, the Supremes
(Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and
Florence Ballard, later
replaced by Cindy Birdsong)
were America’s greatest “girl”
group. 'The trio grew up in a
Detroit housing project and
were guided to superstardom
by Motown’s Berry Gordy. The
sinuous, scintillating Ross
soon took center stage and the
group’s name was changed to
Diana Ross and the Supremes.
Ross went solo in 1970, and
made the charts with Ashford
and Simpson’s sappy “Reach
Out and Touch (Somebody’s
Hand).” She then scored a No.
1 hit with “Ain’t No Mountain
High Enough.” Her emotional
ballads (“Touch Me in the
Morning”) and disco hits
(“Love Hangover”) continued
to chart throughout the ‘70s.
