Karen Pittman knows she's got "the gravitas." The actor, who plays ambitious producer Mia Jordan on "The Morning Show" and erudite Columbia law professor Dr. Nya Wallace on "And Just Like That…," has built her career on strong, smart women. "When I come in with a character," she told me on "Salon Talks," (taped shortly before the SAG–AFTRA strike), "if you're looking for someone grounded, that's probably me."
So it's been a refreshing shift on the second season of "And Just Like That" to watch the newly single Nya cut loose a little, in the most on brand way for the franchise. "You're coming out of a 17-year marriage . . . and what do you do but have sex?"
