My Take
Gloria Reuben earned two Emmy nominations as Jeanie Boulet on ER, but what genuinely impresses me is her refusal to be only one thing. Actress, singer, producer, the Toronto-born Reuben has built a career on range rather than repetition. Her Elizabeth Keckley in Spielberg's Lincoln showed she can carry the weight of history without sentimentality, and her Lucille Lortel Award confirms the stage chops underneath. I respect performers whose voice, literal and figurative, commands trust in any room. Reuben is one of them, and she has done it her own way for decades without chasing the spotlight.
