    She is the OPPOSITE of a Diva. Working as a waiter in the COMCAST Bldg in Philly, she was at an event with the CEO, CFO, et. al. and network stars and assorted news anchors. When I came by with a tray of Champagne flutes; Ms. Lee cut-off the conversation with the big wigs'; acknowledged how handsome this old bald Irishman (me) looked in my tux uniform (straight off the rack from Kohl's) The Chairman of the Board and Sunday am news anchor with hair plugs, remained quiet. They threw eye darts at me as Ms. Lee gracefully took a flute and gushed to ME how lovely the food and drinks and table settings were....as if she were a grateful visitor to MY home!

      @@mrsdv Decades ago I worked in Silicon Valley. Again I was working as a waiter, The YPA was made up of billionaires under 45 who met to support each other. It pissed me off that Steve Jobs had movies and books written about what a DIFFICULT task master he was to his vice-presidents (who had stock options up the wazoo). He too would stop and have minutes long conversations with parking valets, waiters and cooks at these YPA events.

    I had the pleasure of meeting her at a function in the 90s when she was on "Moesha." Everyone was taken with Brandy, but I knew of Sheryl Lee Ralph, a real star, one of the original "Dreamgirls!" Not only was she gracious enough to chat with this starstruck civilian, she gave her million watt smile to what is now one of my favorite photographs of my entire life. Every time I see her being showered with praise & beaming with pride, it just makes me happy. She's earned this, every bit of it!
