She's actually really nice in person.

She comforted her and also told them to get her mom. She put the ice on her and was so sweet! Great experience for my niece and sister!

He has been described as an actor who reconfigured "the concept of classic movie stardom", associating with characters defined by their grace, dignity, humanity, and inner strength.. Denzel Washington has been acting for more than 40 years and has a long list of credits under his belt. Denzel. Washington has received nine Academy Award nominations.
