Q: Now that Viola Davis has hit the big time, will she still be making Jesse Stone movies?

Viola Davis: Lots of movies ahead, but none "made for TV."

Julie Caggiano, Hazlet, N.J.

The award-winning actress may be too busy with her big-screen fare to reteam with Tom Selleck on the made-for-TV movies. A two-time Oscar nominee — most recently this year for The Help — Davis, 46, stars in the drama Won’t Back Down (out Sept. 28), is filming the sci-fi flick Ender’s Game, and has signed on for the supernatural Beautiful Creatures and a biopic about late civil rights leader Barbara Jordan. Davis starred in four Jesse Stone movies, based on the Robert B. Parker books.

Check out this video of Viola at the Oscars (in that gorgeous Vera Wang dress shown at right) talking about her character in The Help.

  1. Hi Richard
    Welcome back
    No, neither have I.
    I just happened to go through something the other day, well, an individual or 3 things essentially. I didn’t realise the impact it could have.
    It looks like it may be wonderful for creating back links, I even imagined of Squidoo Ezine blog. Will try it sometime amd see what happens.
