Trivia Uncle of Ben McKenzie
Quotes [on the Broadway run of "All the Way"] I know for a fact that Nancy Pelosi, who came to the opening and saw it, then returned a second time with members of the Democratic caucus because she wanted them to see what is possible if you embrace your power. I'm very pleased she felt that way about it but I can't say that there's a long list of legislation that resulted from it.
