Taraji P. Henson brought the guns out for her special guest role as Janine’s selfish mom. She was perfect.
TPH’s technique is so goated; how she sharply captures the feel & needed emotion in a line, in a scene is seizing.
Please start engraving her Emmy Award. #AbbottElementary“
But, everyone wasn’t feeling her role on the show.
Someone tweeted, “Taraji is too great of an actress for them to have her acting terribly and so stereotypical on Abbott. Yeesh.”
