Viola Davis' Daughter Genesis Looks All Grown Up at TV Academy's Hall of Fame Ceremony

Viola Davis is being inducted into the Television Academy’s Hall of Fame and she has her family by her side for the special moment!

The EGOT-winning actress was joined by husband Julius Tennon and their 15-year-old daughter Genesis at the Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday night (August 16) at JW Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles.

Viola walked the carpet with her friend Sally Field, who surprisingly has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame yet. The TV Academy doesn’t do an induction ceremony every year and there have only been three ceremonies across the past eight years.

The TV Academy previously honored Viola with an Emmy Award in 2015 for her work on the ABC series How to Get Away with Murder.

Genesis celebrated her 15th birthday over the summer. Viola wrote on Instagram on July 10, “And just like that…..our baby is 15. Love you to the moon G…..to the moon……❤️.”
