Loretta Devine reveals two 'big fights' with Abbott Elementary star during Dreamgirls Broadway run


Loretta Devine looked back on her long friendship with Sheryl Lee Ralph, as the Abbott Elementary star received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday.

Devine played Lorrell Robinson and Jennifer Holliday starred as lead singer Effie White. 'The first one was because I kept getting hit in the head by a flat [a wooden piece of scenery used in a play] because Sheryl Lee, I thought, wasn't moving fast enough. 'I walked this path with purpose because I know young people are watching and representation matters, and when I am able to, I step on the set of Abbott Elementary every day with the same joy and enthusiasm,' the actress declared.
