Everyone’s favorite EGOT has received yet another honor — this time representing her iconic generation.
But first, a quick note about Gen X. In Hollywood, age 40 was once considered the expiration date for actresses. AARP’s Movies for Grownups recently upended said unwritten rule.
On Thursday, September 10, the magazine unveiled its 25 Most Fabulous Gen X Actresses, featuring a list of stars — now roughly 45 to 61 — who built production companies, stepped behind the camera, fought for equal pay and are doing the most fearless work of their careers.
Viola Davis, 61, tops the list, with a special AARP The Magazine digital cover created in her honor (see below). Rounding out the top five are:
Charlize Theron Halle Berry Penélope Cruz Drew BarrymoreAARP took to social media on Thursday to unveil its new list, with the Fences Oscar-winner as its No. 1. “I see myself as brave. But when I say brave, I have the ability to survive the hard stuff. I can do the hard stuff,” reads the Instagram post’s caption, quoting the magazine’s interview with Davis. See below.

Viola Davis is marvelous!” wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, “Such a beautiful person inside and out!”
One of six children, Davis grew up rummaging through garbage cans for food and living in condemned, rat-infested apartments. “I grew up in abject poverty,” she told AARP’s Movies for Grownups. “There was no evidence of greatness in my life. So I had to have magic… I had to dare to ask the big, big question: ‘What if, Viola? What if there’s something out there for you?’”
What those years gave her, she said, was resilience. “I have the ability to survive the hard stuff.” Find out more from Davis’ interview and see the full list of Gen X actresses here.
