Jonathan's latest guest is the great Phylicia Rashad. In 2004, Phylicia became the first black woman to win the Tony award for Best Actress, and picked up another for Best Featured Actress this year. In addition to her fine work on stage and screen, she is the dean of Howard University's Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts. Jonathan met her at the Atlantic Theatre in New York, where they discussed her first transformative experience in the spotlight as an 11-year-old, appearing alongside James Earl Jones, her fearlessness when it comes to seemingly terrifying roles, and the fact that, in her own words, she 'is not the doer'
