In a new clip released by Netflix ahead of the show’s premiere, Davis recalls how she manifested her current happiness with her husband Julius, who she married in 2003.

Last year, Davis told Oprah Daily that “sharing my story is incredibly frightening but liberating. More importantly, it’s my way of helping people feel less alone in a world that is so isolating. It’s part of the building block of my legacy.”

Davis, who is currently winning praise for her portrayal of Michelle Obama in the Showtime series The First Lady and is set to star in the forthcoming film The Woman King about the true story of the Kingdom of Dahomey in Africa, will also discuss what it took to become one of the most celebrated and talented actors of our time in the new Netflix special.

Winfrey also has a busy schedule right now with production duties on the musical film version of The Color Purple. Safe to say, we can’t wait to see these two Hollywood greats on our screens this weekend.

Oprah + Viola: A Netflix Special Event will be available to stream on Netflix from 22 April.
