United Statesa year ago - The Love You Showered Upon Regina King
The way you handled and took care of Regina King with such intimate care, warmth and deep empathy was revelatory to witness. That level of humanity cannot be taught. You didn’t victimize her, but continued to lift not only her light, but that of her son Ian and the wine, MianU. Spectacular interview! Also, to be a show about leftovers and bring up her series, The Leftovers! Genius!
