She Loves Me star Jane Krakowski appeared on CBS Sunday Morning to talk about her Tony-nominated role in the Broadway revival.

The actress said that she keeps a photo in her dressing room of her father performing as Steven Kodaly in the same show decades ago. “My father is not well right now, and I thought this would be the last show he might possibly see me in,” she said. “And so, this is a tribute to my dad. A lot of people don't know that that's one of the reasons I took this show.”

She also spoke about her award-winning dance number. “Me leaping in the air and into a split onto the ground and being dragged across the entire stage…you just don't expect me at this time in my life to be doing that still!” she exclaimed.
