He is right, my Mexican grandmother would clean houses, also repaired clothes, but she was ashamed, she could barely speak english, that she was not educated and what she did to make a living

Jay is related to my great-uncle and aunt and I was a young girl and knew his grandma, Mrs. Leno. His family are wonderful people

Arms crossed. Guarded. Mr. Leno was uncomfortable with this discussion. When your life is to use jokes to dismiss hardship. Explaining hardship becomes so touchy subject.

My Italian grandmother and aunt were the same way. They had so much pride in those days.

The interviewer seems to think that a job working as “ servant girl” is like working at the “whitehouse”
