Viola Davis has talked about her time working with the late Chadwick Boseman, and how she misinterpreted treatment he received on set.The pair appeared together in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Boseman’s final film before his death in August 2020 from colon cancer, an illness he had been battling privately since 2016.

He was 43 years old.The drama was released after his death and earned the Black Panther actor a posthumous Oscar nomination.

Boseman kept his condition private, with most colleagues, including Davis, unaware of what he was going through.In an interview with The Times, the star of the upcoming action film G20 recalled seeing her co-star taken care of by his fiancé, Taylor Simone Ledward, and his makeup artist.

She saw them playing music for him between takes and giving him back rubs.“There was a part of me that was a little judgmental — why do you need all that,” she recalled. “Little did I know that they were doing it because he was dying”.While the moment may have been misunderstood, Davis has paid many tributes to Boseman’s abilities and artistry.

Study: Vitamin D Insufficiency Worsens Sleep Problems in Children with ADHD
April 29, 2025Vitamin D insufficiency worsens sleep problems in children with ADHD, but it does not directly affect the condition’s symptoms or functional impairments, a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology found.1Children with ADHD are more likely to experience vitamin D deficiencies than are children without ADHD, according to previous research.2 However, this study found no causal relationship or direct link between ADHD symptoms and vitamin D insufficiency.Scientists did find that low vitamin D levels (below 30 ng/mL) can worsen sleep difficulties, impairing sleep quality and worsening sleep disordered breathing, in children with ADHD.The researchers wrote that sleep difficulties “increased daytime sleepiness, inattention, and oppositional defiant disorder symptoms in children.” Additionally, it was found that sleep disordered breathing can affect a child’s attention, focus, hyperactivity, memory, and executive functioning, essentially exacerbating ADHD symptoms.Nearly three-quarters of children with ADHD experience a sleep problem or disorder.3 Additionally, up to half of children with ADHD have sleep problems, such as difficulty sleeping, insomnia, night waking, and hypersomnia.4, 5This is the first study, to the researchers’ knowledge, that examines whether vitamin D insufficiency exacerbates sleep problems and symptoms in children with ADHD.
