Chadwick Boseman’s Performance As Tragic Trumpeter In ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ May Be His Greatest
Chadwick Boseman's performance as Levee in 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' will long be remembered. The actor perfectly captured the spirit of the flawed musician, who has survived the violence of Southern racism only to have his dreams of fame and fortune shattered in one day.
Netflix just offered up their first look at "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," based on August Wilson's play of the same name. The project stars Viola Davis as Ma Rainey and Chadwick Boseman, in his final role, as Levee, her extremely ambitious trumpeteer. While Ma Rainey was a very real historical figure, both the play and subsequent project are entirely fictional.
