Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Viola Davis’ performance as the legendary “Mother of the Blues” in the biopic “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” has Oprah Winfrey among her fans.
The How To Get Away With Murder star plays Ma Rainey in the film co-produced by Denzel Washington and adapted from August Wilson’s play of the same name. To nail the character, Davis underwent lengthy makeup sessions. As fans can see in the trailer and images posted by Netflix, Davis’s eyes are covered in heavy black eyeshadow, while her teeth are coated in gold.
Winfrey praised Davis’s role as Ma Rainey and sent her a sweet note to congratulate her on what many already consider an Oscar-worthy performance.
Davis posted a photo of the letter she received from Winfrey, along with a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of Oprah’s favorite rosé.
