Phylicia Rashad, continue to be the light that shines to inspire people, of all skin colors, to believe in the strength of the self. The strength of self that can be a glory to your heritage and your family and your experience, that multiplies through grace to each person you touch.

STAR!! We know her TV work, but this beautiful woman is a being of the theatre. I saw her work in this role and it was extraordinary, specifically, her acting beats at the end of Act one should be studied for years to come. I will never forget this extraordinary performance. This Tony was well deserved the first black woman to be bestowed with this honor. I will always be filled with effulgence because of this performance. BRAVA!

No she wasn’t. Diahann Carroll was for “No Strings.” Did you even look this up before writing your comment!?

@hayesmoses7754 3 жыл бұрын

MickeyDs14 Obviously you didn’t “look this up before writing your comment.” Ms. Carroll’s win was for best actress in a MUSICAL in 1962, while Ms. Rashad’s win was the FIRST for a black actress in a PLAY as I stated.

Hayes Moses My apologies. I misspoke. I didn’t realize the Tony’s considered musicals and plays to be two separate categories! ✌🏽

The speech was good except for the part about teachers who want to be teachers. Most people become teachers because it is something that they love to do. Very few people become teachers simply because it is a job. She could have left that lit bit of nonsense out of the speech.

@skmmmonae9323 2 жыл бұрын

Your comment is what's nonsense. Your comment also excudes ignorance. I've had teachers who have said out of there mouths "I'm just here to get my coins...not to babysit". There are so many teachers who don't genuinely care about there students because I've encountered many. So what she said fits.
