-cough- I totally did not cry when she talked about Madeline Kahn, nope. Hope my sarcasm covers my tracks well. >_< Both are such lovely women and I can only hope to one day be as graceful, as poised, as dignified as those women are. Yes, I say 'are' because there will never be another Madeline Kahn, may she rest in peace. :)
Oh Wow, I had always loved her role Lena in Raisin in the Sun; but never would I have taken soo much from her performance if I hadn't seen this interview. Who knew she was as brilliant to TRULY understand Lena like that; down to why her family, that plant, and why she held on to her husbands memory so much. This has made me love Phylicia ssoooooooooo much more =)
"Eleven children! Did that happen choppin' wood?" She has such a way of making people comprehend and finally realize her reasoning behind things that she says and does! It's PHENOMENAL!!!
@kaatt211214 OK, so then I am NOT the only person who played that part over 50 times, just so I could hear her voice and watch her expression as she drove ol' Brother Kenny right on into her point And what a point she made. Thus, Miss Rashad put down the ax and picked up a Tony.
Phylicia Rashad should have went with her instincts and turned the role down for Raisin in the Sun, I saw it and it was not for her. The thing that struck me the most was that the show's characters were very low on energy, the original version had that in abundance.
phylicia rashad means so much to me....im only 12 yrs. old and she means so much and she'll always hav e aplace in my heart....i love her for clair,lenna,and ruth and so much more but mostly i really love her for Phylicia Rashad

This is yet another great part of the interview.
The Madeline section touched my heart!

lol! The interviewer seems to have lived such an isolated existence. It's sadly amusing.
Thorough interview, though. Quite indepth.

Wow, such a poignant speaker. You get a semester-long history and threatre lecture in only one section of an interview.
