In addition to winning Broadway's Tony award for her role in "Ain't Misbehavin'," she also won an Emmy in 1982 for Ain't Misbehavin' (the TV broadcast of the show), and received two Emmy nominations in 1982 and 1983 for her role on the TV sitcom Gimme a Break!.

On the day before she died, Nell was rehearsing for a play, "Raisin", in Long Beach, California. There, she gave an impromptu interview with a Los Angeles Times staff reporter which reflected emotionally about her beginnings in Alabama. The Times also took the last photograph of Nell Carter - which was a beautiful candid shot.

Her last work was on the feature _Swing (2004)_ , directed by Martin Guigui, in which she plays nurse Grace in a lovely scene with Jonathan Winters.
