    If the 92 year old women from Atlanta can get a role as an elder in Black Panther (a significant part). I don't see why she can't get her big break too. She clearly loves doing what she is doing. Don't stop Lady!

    *WOW!!! I'm speechless... What an inspiration! Also, there's NO WAY she's 69 yrs old?! Absolutely stunning! Thank you Refinery29. I don't think you know how much you're changing my life, or at the very least affecting it, one video at a time. Thank you. XO*

    Omg this is one of the most amazing epsiodes, she’s so full of joy. When we’re young we lose all the joy because we’re so worry about the future if we will succeed or not. We should keep the joy like she does even if it’s hard.

    This series is so brilliant and beautiful- from the way it is shot to the way it is edited. It allows the viewer to really connect with the subject in such a raw emotional way in a very short amount of time. Please make more of these!!

      Rainy Sundays If it only were that simple. Instafamous and career in Hollyweird are not the same. Besides, if she's even halfway a decent person and she seems like it, they will let her rot before they give her a chance to truly shine.

    People put themselves through anything to keep living in LA. Even living in a box. Los Angeles is not a place to live in anymore, its a place to travel for vacation, sight seeing & party.

  • @jesdoh1683
    @jesdoh1683 6 років тому +41

    This is gonna sound mean but enough already! She should be kicking back, relaxing and doing all the local theatre/small stage acting she wants. She could be creatively fulfilled without 'making it' in Hollywood. I think she's amazing, but maybe it's unrealistic to have this Hollywood award(s) winning career dream at this stage in her life. I'm honestly not trying to hate. I just think she could do that for years & get dejected. I hope it goes well for her & wish her success at her next auditions.

    Oh my god, these are just getting sadder and sadder. I don’t get it. She’s amazing and as long as she’s happy then sure go for it. But they always seem so unhappy and so unfulfilled. It’s just so sad cause when you spend your life chasing an unrealistic goal, you simply forget to live your damn life. I’m 28 and I understood a long time ago that I would never make it in the business but I have a band that I play with twice a week and I have my dance classes also twice a week. I get to sing and dance, have a career, travel. Again, if they were happy this wouldn’t bother me but every episode the person seems so empty and lost.
