Happy Birthday 4 Times Viola Davis Changed Television - Page 3

1. Her Character From How to Get Away With Murder Had Everyone Wanting to Be A Detective

It’s no questioning how the show How to Get Away With Murder got to be so popular. Viola Davis’ character had everyone signing up to become a detective. It’s no wonder why the show is already in its 6th season. 

2. Let's Not Forget About Her Famous Snot Bubble

If there’s one thing that changed cinema, it’s Viola Davis’ role in Fences. Rose Maxson’s gentle and nurturing character seems almost refreshing and very much needed for viewers to contrast Troy Maxson’s toughness. Although the couple experiences the same struggle, it is Rose’s grace that viewers admire most in the film. Can you say, best-supporting actress? 

3. She Made Us Love Her With Her Uplifting Affirmations in the 'Help'

4. Out of All the Villains in Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller's Character May Be The Most Bad A$$ Of Them All

Viola won our hearts and many awards with her role as Aibileen Clark in The Help. Despite Davis’ dissatisfaction with the film’s take on African Americans, Clark’s character lifts everyone around her, including her boss’ daughter, who wasn’t always nice in return.
