Rolanda Watts: Yeah, That's me. I wrote Destiny Lingers...
Watts attempt to hard sell me the book, by price & was willing to give me a discount, due to being handicapped.

Data Hard: How come you didn't get another talk show?

Watts found her big break, in 1994. Her syndicated,late night talk show- Rolanda replaced another talk show. That was- The Les Brown Show, by the famed, positive, motivational speaker. Watts also appeared as Vivica Shaw on Sister-Sister,a narrator for the entire 16+ year run on the Judge Joe Brown show & is Professor Wiseman on Curious George on PBS.

Watts (thinking & grinning): I wanted to do other things. I've done both acting & writing...There's more to life, than talk shows. 

Data Hard: ...Continued Success.
