I see that, too. I'm sure she's the best pick for the role and would nail it. She's more likeable than Oprah. She doesn't appear as condescending or thinking she's omnipotent.

[@jayyoung4534]

I first fell in love with her when I caught her on television playing an attorney. She wasn't as big as she is now. I fell deeper in love with her when I found out she was from Rhode Island, since the happiest days of my adult life were spent in Newport, R.I., one summer. And I'm so glad she's avoided the "glamor" thing because looks don't last. This is not to say she isn't nice looking. It's just to say we'll have her around for a long time. Viola, you go, girl!
