Viola Davis Explains Her Decision to Play a Maid in ‘The Help’
Actress Viola Davis addresses the elephant in the room regarding her forthcoming film “The Help.”
There has already been frustration expressed from those who simply heard that two-time Academy Award nominee Viola Davis is playing a maid in her next movie – without knowing anything about her character from the book upon which the film is based.
But fans of the novel understand that Aibileen is a complex, multi-layered individual who ultimately puts her life and livelihood on the line, just by agreeing to tell her own truth about her life as a maid – all for a new book written by a white woman in town with far less to lose.
