Viola Davis pens moving tribute to on-screen mom Cicely Tyson

Tributes have poured in for the late star.

Among those to pay their respects was Shonda Rhimes — who produced “How to Get Away with Murder.”


She penned: “She was an extraordinary person. And this is an extraordinary loss. She had so much to teach. And I still have so much to learn. I am grateful for every moment. Her power and grace will be with us forever.”

While “Euphoria” star Zendaya wrote: “This one hurts, today we honor and celebrate the life of one of the greatest to ever do it. Thank you Cicely Tyson. Rest in great power.”


Tyson — who won three Primetime Emmy Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Tony Award and an honorary Academy Award among others — only released her memoir, Just as I Am, just two days prior to her death.
