Davis's birthday wishes to Zendaya come as no surprise as she once had sweet words dedicated to her by the young actress.

In 2015, Davis made history when she won an Emmy for lead actress in a drama series for her role as Annalise Keating in the popular series, "How to Get Away with Murder. This made her the first Black woman to win an award in that category.

Following her historic win, Zendaya took to Instagram to thank Davis for being an inspiration to women of color in the movie industry.

Four years after her win, Davis and Zendaya graced the Primetime Emmy Awards stage as one of the first set of presenters at the event.

While Zendaya has been inspired by Davis over the years, she has also made a mark in Hollywood and is now a source of inspiration to some of her colleagues. In honor of her birthday on Monday, Zendaya's co-star in "Dune," Timothee Chalamet shared a sweet tribute on Twitter.

In his message, he described Zendaya as one of the most inspiring people he had ever met, and there's no doubt that many others feel the same way about the young actress.
