Viola Davis Implied She Was Hurt By Criticism For Her Michelle Obama Portrayal
She added that critics make her feel like, “You’re surrounded by people who lie to you and ‘I’m going to be the person that leans in and tells you the truth.’”
“But ultimately I feel like it is my job as a leader to make bold choices,” the Fences actor said. “Win or fail it is my duty to do that.”
As Blavity previously reported, Davis said she was nervous about what Obama would think of her portrayal in the show. While preparing for the role, she said she watched Obama’s documentary Becoming multiple times.
In the Showtime series, Michelle Pfeiffer plays former First Lady Betty Ford, and Gillian Anderson portrays Eleanor Roosevelt.
