In the final episode of Season 1 of Legacy Talk, Lena speaks with the influence behind many of the women who have been on the show already: the inimitable Debbie Allen. Debbie says she's not a workaholic, but she certainly has amassed quite a list of credits and accolades, including Emmy awards, Tony nominations, and a trailblazing Golden Globe win. In this conversation, she shares with Lena some of the best advice she's received over her storied career -- including a meaningful moment with Bob Fosse -- and Lena brings Debbie to tears by reflecting on the lasting impact that Debbie's role in the TV movie Polly had on her life and career.
