In honor of International Women's History Month and Barbie's 65th birthday, Mattel has announced the expansion of their Role Models collection.
Actress Viola Davis is among the nine new honorees of this collection, according to CBS News!
The American actress is a Juilliard graduate who went on to become an EGOT recipient, having earned an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony. She is known for her roles in "Fences," "The Help" and "The Woman King." She was also on Time's list of most influential people in 2017. But Davis is more than just an actress.
She and her husband, Julius Tennon, founded JuVee, a production company focused on giving a "voice to the voiceless," says Mattel.
Well deserved!
