Tomorrow night is must-see tv on Showtime… at 8pm the cable giant will premiere the scripted anthology series “The First Lady” which explores the lives of three influential first ladies.
It stars Viola Davis as Michelle Obama, Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford, and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt.
Viola said she saw the difficulties Michelle faced -- calling it an isolating journey -- but she also found joy in portraying Michelle and Barack's marriage, saying how much she enjoyed the couple's playfulness and how much fun they had together. Viola also told Entertainment Weekly, “I feel very protective of Michelle. It's our job as actors not to judge whoever we are portraying, but I ended up thinking she's just dope.”
Yeah, we do too!
