Dunham honors “the shyest extrovert, the most dramatic comedian, the most humble icon” (via toofab)
"The shyest extrovert, the most dramatic comedian, the most humble icon," Lena began."You had lived enough life to know that a TV show was just a TV show, but also to appreciate just what it meant to be allowed to play pretend for a living - and you never let us forget that this job was a privilege."
"You bragged nonstop about your kids, you had the best stories - like when you did 'Circus of the Stars' and 'that’s when I learned to walk a tightrope, there's not much to it' - and when we told you that you would be coming out of the closet on the show you said 'thank you, you can trust me with this.'"She concluded,"I couldn't have been raised up by a better TV 'papa.
Scolari also graced the small screen in"Muphy Brown,""The Good Fight,""The West Wing" and most recently as Bishop Thomas Marx on the supernatural drama"Evil."
