she has no inside voice. >> so i thought i knew she could command the room. but i also knew that as an actor, she hadn't had those opportunities to show all the range. so i thought let's show the world that there is something so different here from you. i know they know olivia pope. i got it. but when we're done, they're going to see no one but charity adams from the time she literally comes into focus on the screen, you go whoa, that's somebody we need to follow. >> you have to stand up straight. posture is important. >> one of my favorite scenes, i got really choked up watching it is when they landed. and the way they marched and the pride in which they march, and the way people were looking at them, you called debbie allen for that scene. >> company, halt. >> i did. because when i saw the historic footage. >> this really happened, yes. >> when i saw the historic footage, i was blown away that every arm swing, every shoe,

supposed to be looking this close. >> tyler, i had never heard this story. i had never heard of these women. how is that possible that we don't know this story? >> that there were 85 black 8555 black women and women of color who served in world war ii and no one knew it. >> and went overseas to represent this country. >> yeah. but also, you have to understand at that time when a lot of the women came back from war, there was still this taboo about being female soldiers. so a lot of family members didn't even know that their grandparents or moms had served in 6888. >> an honor to be here. >> reporter: when we sat down for our interview, perry, washington, and her co-star ebony obsidian were in virginia visiting with service members at joint base myer-henderson hall. >> we started our day volunteering with the uso, putting together packages for female soldiers all over the world. and it was so amazing to be working with hundreds of

volunteers, stuffing these packages, and having made a film about not being able to get packages to loved ones. >> then you went to grave site, tyler. >> yeah. >> you went to the cemetery. to see what? >> i'd seen arlington cemetery many times on television. you see the omb of the unknown shortage and the president laying the wreath there. it was just a moment to stop and honor and lay a wreath for the 6888 at the tomb of the unknown soldiers. to stop and honor everyone who allows us to go to sleep at night and take our kids to school and not think about what is happening in the world because we have people that are protecting our country. >> who are risking their lives protecting us here. the other thing, tyler, you said you felt a mission to get this done quickly. >> yeah. >> i think you felt the clock was ticking because of lena? >> one thousand percent. i actually wanted all of the surviving members to see it. lena was the only one who got a chance to. i rushed to cut together and brought it to her. she was at home on hospice.

and still, she said, tyler perry is coming. i need my lipstick before he walks in the room. >> did she say that? >> yes. and i filmed the whole thing. we sat down and watched it, and she was in tears. and at the end of it, she is saluting and she is crying, and she says "tyler, thank you for letting the world know that black women contributed in the war effort. thank you for letting the world know that we mattered, that we counted, that we fought too." and for me, that was worth it. all i wanted to do was honor these women. but to have one of them see it and really be able to take it in, that felt amazing. >> we do put our lives on the line. >> reporter: corporal king died peacefully earlier this year. she was 100 years old. >> it's just so special to honor these women. you see when people watch the film that anybody who has ever been underestimated or doubted in any way, this film resonates so deeply, because it really is about exceeding expectations and

being able to achieve against al odds, and being able to stand up to people who don't believe in you, to say i believe in me, and i believe in we. >> that was gayle king. and this is "cbs news roundup."
