Concetta Tomei on "Getting Your Stripes" in Life
TVC 605.2: Stage and television actress Concetta Tomei (China Beach, Providence, Madman of the People) talks to Ed about her early career as a teacher, including how she often worked in songs by James Taylor as part of her curriculum; the 35th anniversary of the premiere of China Beach (ABC, 1988-1991), and why the series continues to resonate with Vietnam veterans; and how moments of hardship and disappointment often help us "earn our stripes" in life (as Major Lila Garreau, Concetta's character on China Beach, might put it).
