Lewis was accompanied by Debbie Allen and composer Marc Shaiman at the star’s presentation. As Lewis left the event, she was questioned about the significance of the award. She says that the star is more important to her than presenting or performing because it is eternal. Lewis said she was overwhelmed by the recognition she received for her work in front of and off camera and on stage. The actress also revealed that she suffered from bipolar disorder and that she sought treatment after discovering it.
“When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I somehow found the strength and courage to say the 3 most powerful words in the English language: I need help.”
