After over 40 years in the industry, Sheryl Lee Ralph wins her first Emmy in her first nomination. She accepts by singing a line from "Endangered Species" by Dianne Reeves:

I am an endangered species, but I sing no victim's song. I am a woman. I am an artist. And I know where my voice belongs.

Sheryl Lee Ralph started her Emmys speech by singing "Endangered Species," a 1994 song by Dianne Reeves. I spoke with Ms. Reeves about the moment.

"How does somebody, in the midst of their blessing, bless somebody else?" she said. "That is true sisterhood."

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.

There were four generations of love on her face.

She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes,

She'd seen it all.

I was a child, oh, about three or four.

All day I'd ask questions.

At night I'd ask more.

But whenever; she never, would ever, turn me away.

I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong ?

And why does what I want always take so long ?

Please tell me where does God live

And why won't He talk to me ?

I'd say, Grandma what is love ?

Will I ever find out ?

Why are we so poor, what is life about ?

I want to know the answers before I fall off to sleep.

She sort of smiled as she tucked me in.

Then she pulled up that old rockin' chair once again.

But tonight she was slightly, remarkably

Different somehow

Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep.

Grandma yawned as she stretched.

Then she started to speak.

What she told me, would mold me, and hold me

Together inside.

She said all the things you ask

You will know someday.

But you have got to live in a patient way.

God put us here by fate

And by fate that means better days.

She said, child we are all moons in the dark of night.

Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.

Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.

You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.

You can't get to no better days

Unless you make it through the night.

Oh, you will see those better days

But you gotta be patient.

(Be patient) oh baby, be patient.

Later that year, at the turn of spring,

Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings.

Now, she's flying, and sliding, and gliding

In better days

And although I'm all grown up

I still get confused.

I stumble through the dark

Getting bumped and bruised.

When night gets in my way

I could still hear my Grandma say

I can hear her say,

I can hear her say.

You can't get to no better days

Unless you make it through the night baby.

(Be patient) Oh, you will see those better days

But you gotta be patient.

Child, do you hear me, yeah.

You can't get to no better days

Unless you make it, you got to make it

You got to make it

You got to make it through the night

Oh Grandma, oh Grandma

Do you see me now, lady

Oh oh oh oh oh

She used to sit me on her knee

She used to comb my hair

She used to tell me stories

My Grandma took me everywhere

Jessica shows her optimism by selecting the Dianne Reeves’recording of “Today Will Be a Good Day” as the show opener. It’s a song that was written by Dianne for her 2008 album "When You Know," and an indicator of what’s to come during today's session of music, laughs, and chit-chat at the Deluxe Cabin.

There’s a moment in Parenthood when Reeves’s dude-bro character, Tod, gives a terrific little speech to his girlfriend’s mom, played by Dianne Wiest. Now, throughout most of the story, Tod is the mom’s enemy, a wannabe man, maybe not so bright, stealing her daughter into adulthood. But then he does his monologue while drinking milk from the carton in her kitchen.

“I guess a boy Garry’s age really needs a man around,” Wiest’s character says, referring to how Tod has become an unlikely father figure for her thirteen-year-old son. “Yeah, well,” Tod says, guzzling milk. He stops, points a pinkie at her: “Depends on the man. I had a man around. He used to wake me up in the morning by flicking lit cigarettes at my head. ‘Hey, asshole! Get up and make me breakfast.’ You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish. But they’ll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.”

He gazes off for just a second, snaps to, and looks Wiest right in the eye. Then he shudders and makes a bluurhrh sound, as if he’s shaking off a big insect or a bad memory, and says, “Well, I’m gonna pick up Julie.

“Thirty-two years later, Plimpton remembers it: “That’s him. That little shudder. He added that. That’s his little touch. I thought it was fucking brilliant. It was hilarious. And so him. So dear. So. Dear. I just love that moment in the movie.”

I ask Plimpton if she picked up any bit of wisdom from her time with Keanu, a lesson that’s stuck with her. Without hesitating, she says, “Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think it’s a sense of forgiveness. Of myself.”

20th Anniversary Nothing Like a Dame Concert, Honoring Marin Mazzie

By sheer coincidence, out of the eight Divas in our tournament to appear in the luminous Nothing Like a Dame concert in 2016, six of them are in this week's round. So, let's talk Women.

Pictured: Marin Mazzie with (L to R) Karen Ziemba, Tonya Pinkins, Judy Kuhn

Held as a benefit for the Actors Fund (now named the Entertainment Community Fund), the Nothing Like a Dame concert specifically went towards the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative. The Entertainment Community Fund is an organization that provides "human services nationally for people who work in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance." Many of our Divas have served on the board or various committees. Services include health and wellness resources, housing, financial assistant, senior care, etc.

Pictured: Marin Mazzie with (L to R) Donna Murphy, Karen Ziemba, LaChanze, Bebe Neuwirth, Ali Stroker.

Diva Bebe Neuwirth (of next week's polls) directed a lineup of women that included Tonya Pinkins, Judy Kuhn, Donna Murphy, Mary Beth Peil, Marin Mazzie, Karen Ziemba, and LaChanze (also of next week's polls) among many others. Oh, to have been in the room...

Pictured: (1, 2, 3) Donna Murphy, Mary Beth Peil, Marin Mazzie, Karen Ziemba. (4) Bebe Neuwirth, Marin Mazzie, Phyllis Newman, Donna Murphy.

Highlights of the night included the "Marinettes" (Donna, Mary Beth, and Karen) singing a medley of songs including "Wunderbar," "The Greatest Star," and “Wait Till You See Her,”; Judy Kuhn singing "Ring of Keys," and Tonya Pinkins giving a "chilling version of Dianne Reeves’ “Endangered Species.”

Pictured (L to R): Tonya Pinkins, Judy Kuhn, Erin Hill, ???, Phyllis Newman, Donna Murphy, Mary Beth Peil, Marin Mazzie, Karen Ziemba, LaChanze, Christine Ebersole, Julie Halston, Ali Stroker, Bebe Neuwirth.

Since 2016, the Nothing Like a Dame concerts, as far as I can find, have not proceeded. And what are we as a society doing to bring back concerts bursting at the seams with women?

youtube

The night ended with Marin Mazzie taking center stage on a little black stool with a field of sunflowers behind her as she sang Kander and Ebb's "But the World Goes Round." The song reached new poignancy for a woman fighting ovarian cancer. Less than two years later, the world stopped, and one of the brightest lights of Broadway went out for good. As the song goes, "and sometimes your heart breaks // With a deafening sound," but for the rest of us, the world really does go round.

(Was this just an excuse to post a lot of pictures of Marin? Maybe...)
