Viola Davis’s childhood was marked by hardship and poverty. Born 59 years ago in a one-room shack in South Carolina, her family struggled with hunger, living in a condemned building with no plumbing or heat. Despite these challenges, Davis excelled in school and found solace in extracurricular activities, particularly performance. She earned a scholarship to Rhode Island College, later securing a spot at Juilliard, which led to a successful acting career.
Davis gained recognition on stage and screen, earning Tony nominations and becoming the first Black woman to win an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
