Only a fool would count out Jennifer Birmingham Lee. The sweet southern gal charms everyone she comes in contact with, especially her husband, The Good Doctor star Will Yun Lee.
In this episode of Plus One with Lisa and Morgan, Jennifer shares how Jim Carrey played a part in finally getting her mother in law's approval, how her multicultural family is more similar that it would appear, and why she might be better at recognizing celebrities, without their clothes on!
Later, The Odyssey star and martial artist joins the conversation for an intimate look at how they navigated the unimaginable as their son fought for his life, why being bullied led to his acting career, and how Jennifer can pull off the impossible and do it with a mega watt smile.
Get ready to feel good, laugh hard and wonder why it's been so long since you've had a tan!
