#gabrielsfire

Another image for my #visionboard This man inspired me so much! I even wrote a poem about him in high school. I finally gave it to him a few years ago - though not directly - I received a thank you email. I've been blessed to see him on stage twice and each time I flew 3000 miles to do so. He and #cicely were my inspiration to perform. Seeing them both onstage together was EVERYTHING!! They were having so much fun!! Who remembers #gabrielsfire ? I recorded every episode in 1998. (Like I did all one hour dramas with Us) I will perform in this theater. My work or someone else's. #jamesearljones you are a masterclass in performance so much more than #darthvadar This honor is long overdue. But better late..!!! #jamesearljonestheatre https://www.instagram.com/p/Cibuy_EOE6u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This man was first person that inspired me to act. He is now 89 years young...I never met him but saw him onstage with my other inspiration #cicelytyson (who I first saw in #bustinloose) a few years ago. They had sooo much fun together. I also made sure the poem I wrote about him in high school got to his "people". Thank you #jamesearljones for your detailed performances and being a true artist. #claudine is my other fave...And don't laugh but I still have videotapes of his short lived tv show #gabrielsfire I still remember the way he ate a hotdog for the first time in years in the pilot episode. (He played an ex-con) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7fTxoJJoIR/?igshid=azuo2bj0git7
