Viola Davis has established herself as a veteran actress known for portraying strong and passionate women, which was kind of rare a decade ago. She won an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for the film “Fences.”

In the upcoming film “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” she will again be seen in a fierce and strong protagonist (and titular) role of Ma Rainey.

She has recently given an interview to CinemaBlend and has explained why she does not see her character either as a hero or a villain.

She has explained that the reason she cannot categorize her character as a hero or villain is that she cannot. It is not in the DNA of an actor to do that. It is not her job. As an actor, her job is to portray the character honestly. As far as being a hero or a villain is concerned, it is for the audience to decide. Being a hero or a villain is subject to their judgment.

She further explained that she had tried her very best to portray her as a human being. She lives in a world that does not want to value or even treat her like a human being. However, she fights their judgment because she knows who she is. She fully understands what her worth in this world is, and she is not ready to be bogged down by the judgments of the privileged people.

Davis further expounded that Ma Rainey is no ordinary woman. She is someone that sends shockwaves to everyone living in the year 1927. Davis regards her as a truly free woman. She was mighty impressed with the way the character was written. She said that she belongs to those who live a life larger than themselves, and people wonder where they have come from.

She informed in the interview that Ma Rainey was actually born in Columbus, Georgia.
