In his book, Kenny tells how he came to be that kind of director, that kind of man. --Harvey Fierstein, - Kenny Leon's candor and generosity of spirit is on remarkable display as he so eloquently shares the inspiration gleamed from the wise counsel of his life's most influential teachers. A true testament of the man I adore and am proud to call my life-long friend. --Angela Bassett, - Kenny Leon's personal story is inspiring. His grandmother and mother told him he could do what he wanted in life, as long as he put in the work and remained true to himself. And that's just what he did. --Denzel Washington, -
