I saw it when it was new. It still moves me today. She really deserved that Best Actress Oscar nomination. Bette Midler is stunning as the heartbreaking rock star known as THE ROSE (1979).

I came out to my mom in 1993. It did not go well. She refused to let me in her house for a long time. Eventually, she softened. Yet we had this exchange in 2000 ~ Mom: "Isn't there any woman you wanted to marry?" Me: "Yes. Liza Minnelli." Be brave. Be true. Happy PRIDE. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Whoopi Goldberg. Discovered by Mike Nichols who showcased her in a solo talent Broadway show. Her Oscar nominations for THE COLOR PURPLE (1985) and GHOST (1990, winner) made her the most Oscar-nominated Black actress in Hollywood history for 20 years. #WomensHistoryMonth #Oscars

My parents adored Lena Horne. When I was a teen in L.A., CABIN IN THE SKY aired one night on local TV. Mom said "You need to see this movie." Wow! In the '80s, I interviewed Ms. Horne and she offered Mom a job. See CABIN IN THE SKY at 12:15p today on @TCM . 🎬 #TCMParty

Diahann Carroll was elegant, extraordinary. She made history for African American women on Broadway, on TV and with her Best Actress Oscar nomination for CLAUDINE. I loved her so much. She was a regal trailblazer. #DiahannCarroll

@soledadobrien The late 90s. When I was on GOOD DAY NEW YORK, I was offered the opportunity to do a morning live shot with Chris Rock. The offer went to our exec. producer. He turned it down because he'd never heard of Chris Rock. He assigned me an in-studio interview of the Body By Jake guy.
