What was it like seeing your face on someone else’s body? While Todd does have Alberta’s toenails, he also has a larger-than-life tribute to her in the form of a back tattoo. And I’m really excited because I know that CBS has actually added an Alberta playlist to Spotify. So I think it’s really cool how they’ve been able to spin history on its head for this. And obviously, we know the Bessie Smiths and the Ma Raineys and the Billie Holidays, but there are so many countless others. There are so many voices that we don’t know, from those times. It’s also just such a testament to this time period. But I got to say it is a Catch-22 because if he wasn’t as obsessed with her, we would never have known anything about this woman. Because he is so out of the box, and because he is very creepy – I mean, the man has her old toenails – I think she probably would’ve an indie singer with maybe a couple of people that liked her because Todd does go overboard. With those superfans, it could go either way. Do you think after meeting him she’d prefer to not have fans, or is she willing to take him on in return for growing her popularity?

Speaking of Todd, Alberta’s fan is an interesting guy.

I think he’s absolutely brilliant and truly kills as Todd the historian. And I love how they crafted this episode because so far we’ve had flashbacks with Flower ( Sheila Carrasco) and Isaac ( Brandon Scott Jones), but they’ve done it through the eyes of a fan, who is so incredibly played by Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, so creepily. But I’m super excited for a potential flashback episode – whether that’s this season or, knock on wood if we get a Season 2 – for them to really explore what was going on during the Harlem Renaissance with our girl Alberta.Īnd also I have to give a shout-out to Lauren Bridges, who is an incredible writer… She’s just super excited for everyone to get to know a little bit more about Alberta. I do feel like there was some foul play involved. Would you like to see Alberta’s possible murder explored more on the show? Do you think there’s a chance we’ll find out what actually happened to her?įirst and foremost, we don’t know what goes on with these characters until we.
