“For me, this is something you’ll not see this year, last year, the year before that. . . kissing. . . Liam Neeson, a hunk. And kissing him sexually, romantically.”
"After a three-decade career playing more than 75 mostly supporting roles, Widows – an adaptation of Lynda La Plante’s 1983 British miniseries – marks Davis’s first lead role in a major studio movie."
“You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”

She’s a Grammy short of an EGOT, a full sweep, but tells me it’s not going to happen: she can’t sing.Not a problem. Barack Obama won two Grammys for audiobooks. I bet Viola would be a great audiobook reader.

at 53 years old, kissing Liam Neeson.
who is SIXTY-SIX. I like him fine but for it to be positive and noteworthy to be cast opposite a man who's 13 actual years older than you
of course, it is. I guess. she's great and I am interested in everything she has to say about her career and acting and Hollywood and its deficiencies in writing for & casting black women actors, both in general overall and specifically as love interests or as major characters with love interests. but like.
he's 66

Word. Older women are allowed to be sexual only if the man in question is much much older. I love Davis, but I am so tired of people treating that age difference as not even noteworthy.
