Viola Davis on Playing Michelle Obama, Reading Her Daughter’s Texts & Her Many Awards

Комедия

Viola talks about feeling old after the pandemic, tequila Thursdays with her girlfriends, getting her daughter an iPhone, snooping and reading her text messages, teaching her about spending money, her husband being like George Jefferson, playing Michelle Obama in “The First Lady” on Showtime, and Jimmy quizzes her on all of the awards she has won.

    Love her energy and massive talent. Every teen should do some sort of customer service job-retail, coffee shop, waitress. Develop those social skills that will help you later in life.
