According to Necolebitchie, Vivica A. Fox may be the lucky star who gets to play Whitney Houston in a story of her life. But the article says that Vivica has been hearing the same rumors, and won’t be able to confirm Whitney Houston as one of her upcoming roles. But Vivica tells Necolebitchie that if she was offered the role, she would take it in a heartbeat.
“Just like everyone else, I’ve been hearing the buzz. It’s unfortunate that one of the greatest female entertainers that I’ve ever met and known personally –passed away. But, the thing is that, I’ve always wanted to do her story. I’ve been saying that for years. When someone would ask, “Is there is a dream role you would want to portray, and what would it be,” I say, I would love to do the Whitney Houston story. I think that she’s amazing and one of the first female artists to sell over 100 million albums, International star full of grace. I would be honored”.
But people all over the internet are wondering who will play the part of Whitney Houston. According to the Huffington Post, anyone is fair game—some even say that she won’t even have to be African American, which is a little controversial if you ask me.
In any case, stars from Willow Smith, to Jennifer Hudson and Jordin Sparks, and, have been considered by many for the role, so I guess the Huffington Post is right when they say that everyone has a fair chance. Personally, I think the role of a great artist like Whitney leaves some hard shoes to fill, but I think with the right actress, the biopic may have a standing chance.
