Yaya DaCosta has landed the greatest role of all, playing Whitney Houston in Lifetime’s upcoming biopic of the late star, TVLine has learned exclusively.
The TV-movie will chronicle Houston’s volatile relationship with singer-songwriter Bobby Brown during her meteoric rise to musical superstardom.
Quote:
Angela Bassett (American Horror Story) will direct the yet-untitled biopic, which is aiming for a 2015 release.
For those who don't know Yaya played in The Butler and was a contestant on America's Next Top Model...and FYI TVLINE is a relable source just check out the wiki and their writers who are legit journalists
Whitney deserves better than some podunk Lifetime movie... I certainly hope the Willow Smith/Rihanna/Vivica A Fox big screen Whitney Houston biopic is still in the works!
