Wanda talks about being out in public again, going on a plane for the first time in a while, celebrating Mother’s Day, her mom’s love of casinos, The Wall Street Journal publishing a picture of her at nine years old, her brother Harry being the funniest one in the family, working with Mike Epps on Netflix’s “The Upshaws,” having to shut down in the middle of production because of the pandemic, Kim Fields playing her sister on the show, watching the news less with Trump gone, and Liz Cheney’s great hair.

I haven't watched a sitcom since the early 2000's, (for some reason I started gravitating towards other types of shows after Frasier, Friends, and Will and Grace ran their course) but if Wanda and her wife's life was used as a springboard for a show, I'd definitely tune in! I agree- I bet that each woman's unique personal outlook, their different cultural backgrounds (and obviously, Wanda's sense of humor) would all serve to keep things interesting. :-)

My dad briefly worked with Wanda back when she worked for the NSA. Apparently, people were _terrified_ of her. If there was something messed up that would make her job difficult, then it was known that you'd better fix it quick because you don't want to cross her. So something went wrong, and to mitigate the issue, my dad spent like a month actively avoiding being in the same room with her. Like decades later, he's watching a talk show and Wanda is on, and he's like, "wait, I recognize her...", and she starts talking about what it was like when she worked at the NSA, and his jaw drops and he remembers who she was. Crazy stuff.

Being in the business she is in, I don't blame her for being a perfectionist at all. She seems very strong and intimidating as a person though, especially if you weren't doing things how she needed

@lde2709 3 жыл бұрын

Well what did your dad say if they did cross her? It seems like more to the story, like she’s probably just a protectionist so people are taken back when she’s serious (working) perhaps and blow it out of proportion?
