The story you’re reading was supposed to be in the works for the next few weeks, maybe even months.
If all went accordingly, maybe you would have read this on Feb. 8, which is when we will learn whether the recent film The Queen of Basketball receives an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary (Short Subject). Or perhaps we would have even waited until March 27 and released this interview in tandem with the Academy Awards.
We had a good reason for the waiting: Lusia “Lucy” Harris, the delightfully charming subject of the doc, had never met Shaquille O’Neal, who signed on to be an executive producer of the doc and has championed it in interviews.
