On 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated), actress Nia Long gives heartfelt thanks to Whoopi Goldberg for advice she gave her when the two co-starred together in 'Made in America' in 1993.According to Long, Goldberg said she had a definite future as an actress, but needed to toughen up and develop a "second layer of skin."
"And [Goldberg] says to me, 'You're going to be great, but you need to develop a second layer of skin,'" said Long. "And when you turn forty, and everything balances out, and you've been in this business the way that I have all of these years, it never left my mind. And I thank you and I love you and now I know what it means to have that second layer of skin."
