"Smokey Robinson came in with
a traffic ticket and he wanted per
mission to delay attending traffic
school until he got back from tour,"
she recalls. Judge Jakes was in
clined to grant that for him. He
said to me, When I get back in Los
Angeles I'm going to see to it that
you get tickets to my show.' And lo
and behold, he came through with
the tickets. And not only did I re
ceive them, he came back to deliv
er them personally."
It's been a long trip from Alaba
ma, where Scales was educated to
be a teacher,to Beverly Hills and
now Hollywood and she explains
the evolution this way;
"I'd grown up always to come to
California. It has always been my
dream. It just sounded like it was
alive."
As for "Superior Court," "Judge
Jakes recommended me for the
show. I think it was at her insis
tence that the producers took a
look at me. She also told me that
she thought she would feel a little
bit more comfortable with some
one on the set that she knew," she
explains.
"I love doing the show. It's dif
ferent. It's exciting. I mean, let's
face it, we all have a little ham in
us. Tm sure my kids will tell their
grandchildren. It's something I
will always treasure."
Asked to describe herself, she
says, "I’m just an everyday person
that fortune has sought to smile on
for a moment and Fm going to en
joy it for what it's worth."
