Video: LaTanya Richardson Jackson Is Grateful to Be Given the Grace of Opportunity

This is not LaTanya Richardson Jackson's first Tony Awards rodeo. Just over a decade ago, she was nominated for her outstanding performance in A Raisin in the Sun, and just last year, she was nomianted as a producer for Purlie Victorious. Will the third time be the charm?

"Phylicia [Rashad] said, 'Trust the process... trust me.' And somehow we got there," she told BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "This entire team and actors are the most gifted actors on the planet. There are few gifted actors on the planet... but these are five of them."

Watch as LaTanya chats more about the genius of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, why it was a bumpy road to opening night, and so much more. Plus, check out who she is up against and catch up on all the latest Tony Awards coverage!
