Viola Davis shares that she had to perfect her walk to play Michelle Obama on Showtime's 'The First Lady': “She walks like a boss.'
“I really only knew about, of course, the Betty Ford Center, which is I think what she’s the most famous for,” Pfeiffer told me at the show’s premiere on Thursday at the DGA building in Los Angeles. “And I knew that she came out and was open and transparent about her own issues with substance abuse and alcoholism, which was very, very taboo at the time. And she was discouraged from doing so. And she came out and spoke candidly and transparently about her breast cancer and about mental illness.
“I think people really trusted her and she was one of the most popular first ladies ever. Because people really trusted her. And because of her, her kind of lifting the veil of shame on a lot of these taboo subjects, it allowed other people to talk about them, and to come out and get the help that they needed.”
