I loved her work since The King of Queens- that’s over 20yrs now. And so good to hear of Kevin James’s kindness, but what can I say- a Kev will always go above and beyond. One story you all might like. Many years ago in London I sat beside an elderly Hassid on the bus. Gentile or not I was anxious to engage him by in conversation, but how? It was a balmy summer’s day. That was it- I’d remark on the weather! “It’s a nice day, isn’t it?” I began. He waited a beat; then: “TOO nice”. It was a masterpiece in the comic’s art, and was that really the TINIEST suggestion of a smile in the corner of his mouth? Guess.
