LOL Michelle is such an icon, she had the guts to call Jackie Chan a chauvinistic pig when it was not popular for actresses to be bold and direct on a late night tv show

[corinneyoung]

Yaaas Queen, class act through and through, quick wit with grace. And now... Oscar winner !!!

[rosiey]

So poised, beautiful, and funny in this interview.

[tar_am]

So cool to see those old interviews. The class, the confidence and the charm this lady oozes ! I've always been in awe of her since my teens but now I'm completely in love (and I'm a woman).
