When I attended the TCA Press Tour back in January, I knew that Vondie Curtis-Hall was going to be part of FX’s Justified: City Primeval, and I thought, “Oh, man, talk about an actor whose back catalog is right in my wheelhouse…” Unfortunately, he wasn’t available to do interviews during the tour, but I was assured by the show’s publicist that when the time came to do press for the show, she’d do everything she could to get me some time with him.
That Lena Horne story is amazing! I guess she either really didn’t want to talk to her, or really wanted to get them together...
