Before Sheryl Lee Ralph was an educator on Abbott Elementary, she was educating people on the truth in A Piece of the Action. The 21-year-old gave an award-winning performance in her debut role in that 1977 movie.
Sherly Lee Ralph has the summer off from school. So she is enjoying her time off by going to the beach. What do you wear to enjoy the sun? A bikini. And that is what she did.
Can you believe that the Emmy-winning actress is 66? Because, like the color of her bikini, I am green with envy at how fabulous she looks! Barbara needs to wear something like that on Abbott Elementary. Could you imagine that episode? All the other teachers would be silenced!
We are getting a new season of Carpool Karaoke on Apple TV+ this Friday. Today, the streamer announced who is going to sing and drive this time around.
Getting in the car this season are The Afterparty’s John Cho, Zoë Chao, Jack Whitehall, Sam Richardson and Anna Konkle; Avril Lavigne and YUNGBLUD; Glee’s Lea Michele and Darren Criss; Cedric The Entertainer and Sheryl Lee Ralph; Alanis Morissette and Cara Delevingne; Girls5eva’s Busy Philipps, Sara Bareilles, Paula Pell, and Renée Elise Goldsberry; Ghosts’ Román Zaragoza, Rebecca Wisocky, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Rose McIver and Devan Long; and Community’s Alison Brie and Danny Pudi with a surprise appearance from Joel McHale.
Which episode are you looking forward to most? Obviously, I am all about Ghosts. However, I can’t wait to see Alanis Morissette’s reaction to WAP. Can you believe there are still people who haven’t heard the song?
Sheryl Lee Ralph looked like a Queen when she walked the red carpet at the NAACP Image Awards. And that was largely because of the beaded gown she wore that fit her body like a glove!
It is like it was made just for her, and it was. “How proud and happy we are to introduce you to Pistis Ghana Limited,” the award-winning actress wrote. “The husband and wife team of Kabutey and Sumaiya who spent 1000 hours constructing this gown of beaded royal Kente cloth for me @naacpimageaward.”
Kabutey and Sumaiya’s hard work shines brilliantly on the Abbott Elementary star. They found their perfect muse in the actress.
There was an episode of Abbott Elementary this season where Barbara thought that white celebrities were actually black.
Today, when Sherly Lee Ralph was on The Talk, Natalie Morales asked her about that. And it turns out that was based on her truth.
The Emmy-winning actress explained that when she hears names like Orlando Bloom and Darren Star, she is sure they are African-American. So imagine her shock when she met the Sex and the City creator in real life and saw that he is caucasian.
That is a true story that made its way into her fictional character. And now we have just another reason to love Ralph!
