The Candy Lady has become a beloved fixture in Philadelphia, and now the Germantown native may be headed for a bigger stage.
The Candy Lady has become a beloved fixture in Philadelphia, known for walking city streets with candy balanced on her head and selling it to the community.
"I was like, 'Oh my goodness,' and I just started praising God," the Candy Lady said, describing her reaction after hearing Brunson said, "If I had a dream Philadelphia guest star, it would be something very silly like, there's a woman who walks around with candy on her head, the Candy Lady. " "First of all, Quinta, yassss! That's huge, that is huge," the Candy Lady said.
"Shout out to Good Morning America, woot woot! "Over time, she became a familiar and warm presence in the neighborhood. Many stop not just for a sweet treat, but for connection.
"Philly supports Philly, and to the people who say ain't no love in Philly, that's a lie cause I see love every day," she said. Now, she hopes to take that energy to television, setting her sights on Abbott Elementary and even imagining her own storyline.
"The reason Quinta and Gregory split up is because me and Gregory going to start dating. Period," she said.
"Reaching back just how Quinta did. I want to reach back. Reach back to my church. Reach back to my neighborhood.
I just want to reach back and lift our people up," she said. The Candy Lady will not appear this season, though, as "Abbott Elementary" airs its season finale Wednesday at 8 p.m. on 6abc. Criminal investigation launched into OpenAI after deadly FSU shooting
