Phylicia Rashad made Tony Award history Sunday, becoming the first black actress to win the prize for a leading dramatic role.


"Often I've wondered what does it take for this to happen," said Rashad, who received the prize for her portrayal of Lena Younger, the tough-minded matriarch in a revival of "A Raisin in the Sun."


"And now I know. It takes effort and grace, tremendous self-effort and amazing grace. And in my life that grace has taken numerous forms. The first was the family into which I was born, parents who loved and wanted me and a mother who fought fearlessly, courageously, consistently so that her children above all else could realize their full potential as human beings."

WOW!!! Thats awesome. Congrats Phylicia :D :wave:

~Some good Roseanne qoutes~

[During a tornado]
Roseanne: What's the worst that can happen? So the tornado picks up our house and slams it down in a better neighborhood.


D.J.: I haven't said anything in two days. Nobody's cared.
Roseanne: Oh, that can't be.
D.J.: Uh-huh. The last thing I said was "Cheerios".


Bev: Where do you keep your citrus fruit?
Roseanne: I think there's an orange under the dryer...
