Viola Davis Talks About Being A Fan Of Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman

[Agent Z]

In her latest photoshoot with Variety, Oscar Winner Viola Davis talks about her love of Wonder Woman, based on the ’70s television show, starring Lynda Carter, that came out when she was twelve years old.

“Okay, I have a slight obsession with Wonder Woman,” Viola Davis says, holding her Wonder Woman mug and looking so beautiful with her halo of hair. “She’s sort of my idol. When the show came out I was twelve years old, and I’d never seen anything like it in my life. I mean as soon as the going gets tough, you saw this woman who was seemingly demure […] she could turn into a superhero and get the job done. It wasn’t about her trading in her feminity […] she wasn’t vindictive towards other women.”

Hearing Viola Davis speak about her experiences as a twelve-year-old loving Diana Prince, and still now having that same love, is so powerful because it’s a reminder of what these characters mean to people and how their influence stays with us, even as adults. Davis’ feelings about Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman are how many people felt about finally seeing Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman or Melissa Benoist as Supergirl. For me, it’d be the combination of Sailor Moon as a child and then watching Danai Gurira as Okoye in Black Panther.
