The Tony Award-nominated Audra McDonald talked to CBS SUNDAY MORNING's Mo Rocca this Sunday about two legendary singers: Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, whom she is playing on Broadway in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill."

Of Billy Holiday, McDonald tells Rocca, "And all of those sort of domestic things that she craved and wanted desperately, I'm fortunate to have. I'm the luckiest person I know."
