Viola Davis is one of the few people who has at least an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. And now she has something else that not that many people have, and that is a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
She was recently given a private showing of herself, and I never heard someone be so touched by what the wax museum created for them
She looked at herself in awe, and said in amazement, “Oh my Gd. You got everything right. I mean she looks alive,” she said. “It was like a dream I had when I was 28. When I was looking at myself in the subway station, but it was a dream. This is just like…There’s signs in your life where you feel worthy. And they help the inside feel worthy. I keep saying that saying of, ‘Your purpose is not what you do. It’s what happens to people when you do what you do.’ And sometimes, the people that it happens to, is you! And it is what I did. I can’t believe that little Viola pulled it off. You pulled it off. Who knew?”
It is so great to see the people who deserve to be honored get that honor, and remain humble when it is given to them.
You can see the life-size wax candle of my neighbor on the other side of the hill at Madame Tussauds Hollywood.
