Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph stopped by Good Morning America to chat about what to expect on season 3 of the hit ABC sitcom show, Abbott Elementary! Its such a great show and Broadway legend Sheryl gave us an idea of what to expect this time around! Sheryl has also slimmed down just a bit and it looks wonderful on her! Sheryl Lee Ralph was born on December 30, 1956, in Waterbury, Connecticut, USA. Ralph made her Broadway debut in the musical “Dreamgirls” in 1981.
