After the release of a modestly successful LP, "Last Time I Saw Him", Ross's second film, "Mahogany", was released in 1975. The film reunited her with Billy Dee Williams, her co-star in "Lady Sings the Blues" and featured costumes designed by Ross herself. The story of an aspiring fashion designer who becomes a runway model and the toast of the industry, "Mahogany" was a troubled production from its inception. The film's original director, Tony Richardson, was fired during production, and Berry Gordy assumed the director's chair himself. In addition, Gordy and Ross clashed during filming, with Ross leaving the production before shooting was completed, forcing Gordy to use secretary Edna Anderson as a body double for Ross. While a box-office success, the film was not well received by the critics: "Time" magazine's review of the film chastised Gordy for "squandering one of America's most natural resources: Diana Ross".
