I dont think it's natural tho

[@fz290]

I'm reading all the comments about viola Davis and I just want to like all the comments.. she is amazing... great actress.. made it to the top on her own

[@srkh8966]

F Z the first time I saw Viola Davis was in the movie “Doubt”. She’s on screen for 12, maybe 13 minutes but she completely steals the scene from Meryl Streep. My friends and I were awestruck-who the hell is this woman? She was nominated for best supporting actress that year-for a few minutes of screen time. She was that amazing.

[@fz290]

@@srkh8966 of course.. she is amazing.. blew me away in "How to get away with murder" love her

[@zoepayne3297]

I was just thinking "This is the only clip EVER that i've "liked" so many comments! I might actually make a comment of my own instead of piggybacking on everyone else's! 😶

Her Maasai tribe inspired jewelry is everything!!!!!🧡❤️💚💙🖤💛

[@skineyemin4276]

How could she have had any low self esteem issues about anything? This woman's beauty is on a whole other LEVEL!

[@goodlife459]

Tough childhood

[@td1145]

Seriously? She has been propelled into her roles where she has failed miserably. What roles are you talking about? Law Abiding Citizen she was cringeworthy and unbelievably overacting to the extent of ruining the film due to her cringeworthy performance. Where is she your legend?

[@creamofthecrop5868]

Her acting skills are phenomenal

[@luismoreno5842]

This woman is everything! I love her so much😍

[@sweettangel9256]

Viola Davis is stunning. Her skin is so beautiful and all that natural gorgeous glow

[@terryedwards171]

That glow comes from lotion.

[@neeks352]

Her black is definitely BEAUTIFUL! Such grace and I LOVE her glow!

[@Dogen70]

Viola davis has the recognition and success that I thought Alfre Woodard should have had. They could damn near be Mother and Daughter actresses!

[@skineyemin4276]

And, the irony is.... Alfre Woodard's husband is a white man.

[@Dogen70]

Max Austin how's that irony? Im comparing a great black actress to a great predecessor

Omg so true!!

Her laugh is so contagious. I love her. She’s so beautiful and inspirational ❤️

[@hezebelbeing]

I am in LOVE with Viola Davis..in like a Goddess way. She is so REAL and so beautiful, in and out. Ahhhhhhck I cannot get enough. She just somehow doesn't have that "sensor" vibe at all. She is JUST her. Brilliant. Ohhhhh Steve McQueen of 12 Years a Slave. Yes, I'll be first in line for Widows.

[@thekingofcool2105]

With that biceps, She could be the next villain in Wakanda!

She and Ramonda could engage in hand to hand combat.

[@mysteriousc.6718]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾 ‘Fences’ hit home for real. She deserved that Oscar. Reminded me of my biological father whom is a military veteran (Navy & Marine Corps) and whom has dealt with alcoholism. Made me think about the kind of relationship we would’ve most likely had had he and my mother stayed together (married). My mouth trembling, eyes watering, fighting back the tears. It was too deep.

One of the few good things about the DCEU was Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. She chewed through that part like it was made just for her.
