She's like, what did your friends think of you?
Exactly.
So it's curious to, you know, kind of jump in their head and see what their perspectives are.
I love Lena Horne.
Lena Horne was one of those beautiful, amazing, talented groundbreakers that she was in television, recording, Broadway, an activist.
And I got a chance to meet her.
I burst into tears.
Talk about tears.
I was in my 20s.
I bursted just because she was legendary.
And she knocked down all those walls that I admired.
So she was amazing.
But Diane Carroll, again, Diane Carroll worked with me as...
She played my mom in a movie called A Courage to Love.
And she was like the first Black woman to have a TV show on broadcast TV.
And again, did Broadway and recording and stuff.
So these were all the women that had done everything that I wanted to do, the scope of work, and just broke barriers.
And just like saying...
You're on television.
You're playing.
