Zoe Saldana visited "The Talk" to discuss her new film "Infinitely Polar Bear." She tells the hosts and guest co-host Melissa Rivers what attracted her to the project and why she was so inspired by this story.

Later, the actress shares her take on Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP chapter president who resigned after being accused of pretending to be African American. Says Saldana, "There's a lot more to this story. I just think that we need to look at this situation with compassion...I grew up with a mom that is Puerto Rican and light skinned and she's always said she's black and I can't judge her for it. That's how she really feels."

CBS's Daytime Emmy Award-nominated talk show THE TALK features a panel of well-known news and entertainment personalities discussing current events, pop culture, contemporary issues, family, celebrity and the trending topics of the day. The daily one-hour series is hosted by Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood and Aisha Tyler. The hosts swap stories, challenge each other on issues and engage the studio audience and viewers at home about events in the headlines and their own homes. Show segments include guest interviews with entertainers and newsmakers, musical performances, cooking demos with celebrity chefs as well as real-world advice and tips from leading experts in fitness, diet, health, home, relationships, finance and fashion. The show was developed by Gilbert, who also serves as executive producer.
