Her failed attempt to provide feminism into her dialogue with “ The Woman King” actress Viola Davis was also featured in a Variety content discussing “ Female Activity Heroes, Motherhood and Push Tours Ruining Acting. ”
How is it feasible that one of America’s top actresses is completely ignorant of female colleagues in the industry?
