Who better to play an updated version of Cinderella's fairy godmother? King plays Rhonda, the manager of the diner where teenager Sam works. Loyal to Sam and her late father (and despising Sam's stepmother, the new owner), Rhonda does everything she can to help Sam make it through until she can escape to college. Even without a literal magic wand, she's the kind of support we'd all love to have in our corner.
