Embracing Connection Through Shared Stories

Ted Danson feels like he’s found a kindred spirit in three-time Emmy winner Uzo Aduba. They get into the surprising gifts that came out of Uzo’s experience of writing a memoir about her late mother, playing Shirley Chisholm, her track and figure skating past, what it was like pivoting from sports to acting, and what was happening in her life when she got cast as Crazy Eyes on “Orange is the New Black.” Bonus: Uzo and Ted trade their experiences dealing with sudden fame.

Uzo’s book is “The Road is Good: How a Mother’s Strength Became a Daughter’s Purpose.”
