ABOUT
Unfortunately I am not able to access the full biography from the link provided. However, here is a summary of Viola Davis's biography based on the limited information available: Viola Davis is an American actress who has been nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Tony Awards. She won a Tony Award for her role in the 2010 Broadway play Fences. Davis grew up in poverty in South Carolina. She discovered her passion for acting at an early age and attended the prestigious Juilliard arts school in New York City. Her breakout role came playing a small but pivotal part in the 2008 drama Doubt. This launched Davis's successful film career, and she has since starred in movies such as The Help, Suicide Squad, and Widows. On television, Davis is best known for playing lawyer Annalise Keating on the series How to Get Away with Murder. She became the first black woman to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for this role in 2015. I aimed to provide a high-level summary of key biographical details based on what I could access, without reproducing copyrighted material.
