Supportive Mom

Though she expressed an interest in acting, Viola, 58, will support her daughter in any career path she chooses to pursue in the future.

“I don’t know if she wants to be an actress,” the doting mom told Entertainment Tonight in August 2019. “I mean, the last time I checked, she wanted to be a Navy Seal. I was really happy about that because I want her to be able to handle herself.”
