Octavia Spencer: John Glenn Put His Life in the Hands of an African-American Woman

RUSH EXCERPT:
MATTHEWS: "He was a good guy in the movie right? Octavia." 
SPENCER: "He was a good guy, period. I learned something about him that I didn't know and it made him that much more of an American hero to me. He did something unpopular. He put his life in the hands of this African-American woman. If her numbers didn't match up, he wasn't going to go. If her numbers matched up, of course he went."
MATTHEWS: "He wanted to know he was going to land."
