Dear Dean, Can I call you Dean? I hope so, because that is what I’m going to call you. I hear that you are having a fundraiser for Charlie Crist March 19. That’s fine.  You are entitled to support whomever you choose to support, as are the rest of us. I actually don’t have a […]

Hattie McDaniel. Whoopie Goldberg. Halle Berry. Jennifer Hudson. Monique. Octavia Spencer. Lupita Nyong’o. All Black actresses who won an Oscar. Halle Berry won for best actress in a leading role, the others won best actress in a supporting role. This is a remarkable and amazing achievement. I’m very proud of them. Very proud. I have […]
