, largely in part to her win but also because her late father came to mind.
The 35-year-old actress became the first Black woman to win an Emmy in the Best Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series: Actress category on Friday, and she told ET's Deidre Behar she was"still in shock" and in"disbelief" even after clearly hearing her name called.
Morgan's father died back in November 2019. He was 67. Following his death, Morgan took to Instagram and shared the invitation to his memorial service. Her caption simply said,"No words" along with a heartbreaking emoji. Prior to the Daytime Emmy Awards, Morgan told ET's Nischelle Turner about a devastating car accident that nearly left her paralyzed and also changed her career path, from aspiring lawyer to a career in Hollywood.
