Davis established herself as a leading actress of Broadway in the 2000s.[14] She starred in her first recurring role in the 2000 medical drama City of Angels,[8] before winning Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for her performance as a wife of ex-con in King Hedley II (2001), the ninth play of Wilson's The Pittsburgh Cycle.[15] She received further acclaim for her role as a black seamstress in Intimate Apparel (2004) that won her the Drama Desk Award.[16] Four years later, a supporting role in the period drama Doubt (2008) proved to be a breakthrough for Davis and she received Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nominations for it.[17] [18] Davis starred opposite Denzel Washington as a dutiful yet strong minded wife Rose Maxson,[19] in a revival of Wilson's play Fences (2010), that earned her Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play.[20] The same year she played Julia Roberts' best friend in romantic-comedy Eat Pray Love.[21]
