My father was a doctor.

I never wanted to lose out on an acting job and wonder if I hadn't been trained enough.

My grandmother was born in 1900, and she would regale me with tales I call 'Little House on the Prairie' tales, but they were tales of segregated and racist America growing up in Alabama and Mississippi, where she came from.

My father was a doctor.

When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.

My father contracted polio on a troop train in Korea.
