‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Star Aja Naomi King On Her First Emmy Nom For The “Transformed” Harriet Sloane: “This Is Magic, This Is Utter Magic”


'Lessons In Chemistry' star Aja Naomi King on her first Emmy nomination for the transformed character of Harriet Sloane.

This experience was made even more special for King considering the character of Harriet Sloane was changed dramatically for the series. “They made this wonderful character and transformed her so that it could fit me perfectly,” she says, “and that was such a gift to entrust me with that and to expand the world of the story in that way. “We don’t want to put too much into awards,” says King, “but at the end of the day it really is meaningful to have your peers look to your work and say, ‘Hey, we see you and we think you’re doing something really incredible and we want to acknowledge you.’ So, I am deeply touched by all of this.”
