Aaron Cooley wrote a program titled "The First Lady," which is co-produced by Lionsgate television and Showtime, in which actress Viola Davis is the lead actress.

The purpose of the session was to highlight the leadership in the United States as reflected in the sisters who were inside the White House, the wives of former presidents.

The wives of the presidents who are featured in the first phase of the program are Eleanor Roosevelt, the role played by Gillian Anderson; Betty Ford, the role played by Michelle Pfeiffer; and Michelle Obama, the role played by Viola Davis.

The 56-year-old Davis said in an interview that he is always nervous about how Michelle Obama will treat him when he sees what he has done for the show, which will be aired on April 17, 2022. "To show him wrong," said the highly experienced actor.

Michelle Obama before acting like her, but there were things she did not get, like she was taking care of her husband, Barrack Obama, at home, and she was raising her children, so now she had to use her creativity.

Fellow actors Gillian Anderson and Michelle Pfeiffer also had to do research because the roles they play are those of people who served in previous years.

Anderson plays Eleanor Roosevelt, who was the wife of former US president Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served between 1933 and 1945 when she passed away. Pfeiffer plays Betty Ford, the wife of former US president Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., who was in power between 1974 and 1977.
