Those of you who watch Jimmy Fallon remember when Denzel Washington talked about his encounter with his childhood librarian. It’s one of those anecdotes celebrities talk about, but can you imagine what an honor it is for a 99 year old lady to get a phone call and meet an A-list actor.
It was Miss Connie’s long time wish to meet a boy she taught how to love literature, and who has since become this huge Hollywood star. Actors meet thousands of people every year and most of them would just ignore requests like this, but Denzel is a class act and I admire him even more for making one old lady this happy.
