Lynn Whitfield Been Giving Olivia Energy

Hey, hey, my favorites 😁💚

So apparently Lynn Whitfield was already serving “fixer energy” in Taking the Heat way before Olivia Pope ever walked into the White House on Scandal. And don’t judge me… I haven’t seen either one 😭 but the way people talk about her in this role? I might need to tap in. Lynn been that woman, classy, dramatic, unbothered, and always in control.

If this is the original Olivia energy, let me go ahead and start from the beginning because I clearly missed a whole era.
