Filmmaker Ava DuVernay has revealed how the late rock and roll pioneer Little Richard used to leave her a generous tip while she was working as a waitress in Los Angeles.
“I served soul food brunch to Little Richard every Sunday for a year while waitressing at Aunt Kizzy’s Back Porch in LA,” DuVernay tweeted.
Dylan tweeted a poignant tribute that called Richard his “shining star and guiding light”.
