Nate ‘n Al’s Server Gloria Leon Celebrates Birthday, Retirement at Quarantunes Special Send-Off Chris Gardner Nate n Al’s All-Star Server
Gloria Leon has taken off her Nate ‘n Al’s name tag for the last time.
The all-star server spent more than 41 years waiting tables inside the iconic Beverly Hills deli, and the regulars who came to love her everyone from studio heads and agency partners to actors and producers cast her in other roles. To them, Leon was family: a surrogate mom, auntie or grandmother, and, for better or worse, a confidante unafraid to say what she really felt about a recent film or TV show. She easily rattled off names of kids, grandkids and cousins, remembered anniversaries and birthdays, and was often invited to customers’ weddings, premieres, bar mitzvahs and graduations. She even accompanied longtime patron Larry King to the Democratic National Convention and to Utah for charity baseball games.

Daveed Diggs is a versatile actor with many other roles besides his breakout performances in
Hamilton. However, the actor has admittedly struggled to shake the shadow of Thomas Jefferson and Marquis de Lafayette in the years since he put the roles behind him. This isn t the case on
Snowpiercer, where he plays post-apocalyptic revolutionary Andre Layton, who has not sang or danced one step since the series beginning.
Ahead of
Snowpiercer Season 2, I had the opportunity to speak with Daveed Diggs and, during the conversation, i asked if he was grateful to play a character who doesn t sing or dance. Diggs then revealed that his lack of song and dance is not for lack of trying. The actor assured me he was grateful and gave a great reason why he shouldn t be the one singing or dancing on the show now or in the future:
Snowpiercer returns to our television screens tonight, bringing about a new chapter of TNT s post-apocalyptic saga. The series will pick up right where its Season 1 cliffhanger left off, with the revelation that a second train, known as Big Alice, has also been traversing around the frozen tundra. [.]
