Who can forget Sheryl Lee Ralph’s Emmy acceptance speech last year where she sang a rousing celebration of her femininity and artistry, followed by these words: “Anyone who’s ever had a dream and thought that their dream couldn’t come true, I’m here to tell you that it yes is what seems like striving, and never give up.
We hear more of that good stuff from Ralph on the podcast this week. She doesn’t just talk about it Abbot Primary School Season 3 but we learn more about her journey to positivity and her secrets to lifelong happiness and joy. She talks about what is most precious to her and reflects on some childhood and career memories.
In the ABC mockumentary created by Quinta Brunson Abbot Primary School, Ralph plays Barbara Howard, a reserved and dignified teacher who magically has a perfect grip on her class. On the podcast, Sheryl talks about enjoying the slow reveal of who Barbara is and the soft underbelly of her character through her interactions with her husband in Season 1 and the tension between her and her daughter in Season 2.
During her 40-year career, Ralph starred in numerous hits on stage and screen, including her role in the original Broadway production of dream womenfor which she was Tony nominated.
