S.C. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in Broadway Debut

Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson continues to make history outside of the nation's highest court. Last Saturday (Dec. 14), the 54-year-old made her Broadway debut in the musical comedy & Juliet in a specially created one-night-only walk-on role at the Stephen Sondheim Theater, according to Playbill. With the performance, Jackson achieved a lifelong dream, reviving her acting career hopes for the singular affair. For Jackson, it stands as a full-circle moment as she penned in her Lovely One memoir her goal of becoming the first Supreme Court Justice to perform on Broadway. "I think that it means that anything is possible," explained the Harvard graduate to CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King after the show. "Five years ago, I was a district court justice; nobody knew who I was. To have both of the pieces of my fondest dreams come true in this little bit of time has been extraordinary for me."

KBJ is a class act. Really cool she got to live the dream for one night, and for the cast members to live their dream performing with her.
