Viola Davis graces the cover of the February 2012 issue of L.A. Times Magazine sporting her natural hair and chic black designer dresses. This award winning actress truly brings out the “inner diva” as she does a high fashion spread that could easily adorn the pages of Vogue magazine.
Viola is just a few weeks away from finding out if she will walk away with the coveted Oscar for her work in the movie, “The Help”. I love watching how she evolves into this beautiful butterfly, but then again it was in her all along, it just took this long for Hollywood to recognize it!
Here a few highlights from her heartfelt interview:
On opportunities for women of color:
“That really is our plight, especially as women of color, you can have all the training in the world, come from a respectable background and yet never get that big opportunity that breaks you out—never.”
On mentoring young actors:
“I have so many young people that come to the house I can’t even count. “They come to L.A. feeling lost. Some want to be actors, some don’t. They just want to be somebody.”
