I'm really enjoying this interview.
It's nice to hear a person speak candidly, honestly, and humorously.
She has certainly earned the right to do so.
What did she mean by "Your background is showing"?
Fantastic classy woman, a wonderful role model for all women.
I remember seeing both Claudine and Julia, both powerful strong women. Julia had the same career as my mom and you both favor so much. Both roles had a powerful influence on me. Thank you.
Best of luck to you in all your endeavors!
Wow, Diahann Carroll is truly unlikeable.
Hubba, hubba...
What a fantastic woman.
And what a fantastic set of legs.
Cheers.
