About Harvey's guest:
Today’s special guest, Tonya Pinkins, is a multi-award-winning actress, singer, filmmaker, playwright and author whose list of accomplishments is truly remarkable.
She’s starred in NINE Broadway shows including “Jelly’s Last Jam”, for which she won a Tony award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, for her unforgettable performance as “Sweet Anita”. She received 2 more Best Actress Tony nominations for her performances in “Play On” and “Caroline, or Change”.
She’s won - or been nominated - for nearly every award there is in the American theater, including the New York AND Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards, the Obie, the Lortel, the Drama Desk award, the AUDELCO and the NAACP Award, to name just a few. And she’s a Fulbright Specialist.
On TV, you’ve seen her as “Heather Dalton” in “As the World Turns”, “Livia Frye Cudahay” in “All My Children”, “Ethel Peabody” in “Gotham”, “Susan Thompson” in “Madam Secretary”, and “Alma Spearman” in “Women of the Movement”. She’s also appeared in “Criminal Minds”, “Law & Order”, “Nurse Jackie”, “Scandal”, “The Hunt for the Chicago Strangler”, and many more shows. She’s also a renowned writer, with a best-selling book entitled, “Get Over Yourself: How to Drop the Drama and Claim the Life you Deserve”.
Her essay on Medium.com, entitled, “Why I am Fed Up With Performative Activism From Black and White Theatre Makers”, has become required reading at many universities, including the Yale School of Drama.
And if THAT weren’t enough, she’s knocked it out of the park with her debut feature film, “RED PILL”, a RIVETING political thriller like you’ve never seen before. This thought-provoking movie about the fractured state of American politics and race relations, has taken international film festivals by storm, winning over TWENTY prestigious awards. The film is now available on iTunes, Amazon Prime and most major streaming platforms. Our guest has also produced a book to accompany the movie, entitled “Red Pill Unmasked”. And there’s even a GAME on the movie’s website. And on top of ALL THAT, she hosts a highly popular podcast called “You Can’t Say That”.
There is SIMPLY NOTHING this woman can’t do.
