The 55-year-old revealed that her parents befriended US civil rights leaders while living in Atlanta and running a theater school.

"One day Coretta called my mom and asked if her kids could be part of the school because they were having trouble finding a place that would accept her kids.

My mom said, 'Sure, come on,'" and so they all became friends and helped us in difficult times."
