What did you think when Viola took off her wig and makeup...

I know its a few weeks old. And I know few Orgers witnessed it. But for a lot of people, her doing that on camera was a powerful statement. And it made me curios to ask the question here. Personally, I was surprised, but glad and liked the way it was done.

Her husband didn't flinch. Powerful moment.

Huh?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I didn't understand what the big deal was honestly. We all knew it was a wig. While this show crazy fun its pure shit. Its just trying to be edgy for edgy sake cause none of the characters are well written or even like able.

To me, seeing her in this type of role makes a statement in itself. It gives other viewers the chance, whom otherwise would know her by maid roles or the sidekick, to see her in a powerful, leading role.

When she took off her wig and make up, I thought it was great. In fact, I can't figure out for the life of me why they have her wearing those silly wigs anyway. I absolutely love seeing her with her natural hair.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

This is in regards to an episode of "How to Get Away With Murder" on ABC, starring Viola Davis.

You see her natural hair more often in the show, actually done. I thought it was an interesting choice on how it was shot.

I haven't been on the Org in weeks... but since I'm home from work this evening I thought I"d pop on... wave

I was just talking about this with a coworker yesterday.
It was my favorite scene in the season.

It showed how Analise seemed like this put-together, strong woman, but everything about her was a facade. Her look and her strength were both an illusion. She stripped down and revealed the "real Analise".
I liked how it was "piece by piece", as she came undone.
