Is this to be major motion picture or a made for tv film.
Never heard of any of these actors.
Could we’ll be the case lol
I did a small spot of research on Kat Graham who appears to have made quite a few films, including successful tv work. She is also a singer with a few albums to her name. Didn’t like anything i heard on YouTube, though she’s certainly very beautiful.
Should make for very glamorous Diana Ross i’m sure.
Biracial actress... yeah lemme keep my mouth shut lol
She would have made a great Florence Ballard though.
Bruh...I can't.
I'm not one who think these kind of roles have to be portrayed by lookalikes, but come on. Diana Ross was not lightskinned any day of the week. It's like casting Terrance Howard to play BB King. The most important element of anyone portraying Diana Ross is that she pulls off the essence of the legend, so in the long scheme of things, the complexion of the actress isn't so important. Except in a day when there is still a lot of colorism in Hollywood- despite some great strides made by some fantastically dark brown women- this casting feels off. Of course there's a high likelihood that this role is very small, and it's not the Diana Ross Story, but I'm still uncomfortable.
However, it is a Michael Jackson Biopic so the Diana Ross may not be that essential in this pic. There are so many areas to cover with Michael depending on how deep they will go and with his family as well. Again this is my opinion without seeing a script.
I think she would be extremely essential to any movie regarding the life of MJ.
Diana certainly played a huge part in his life, from moving into her house to co-staring in The Wiz. The fact he made her guardian of his children speaks volumes as to what a huge role model she was to him.
Admittedly there is a lot of ground to cover, but i really hope Diana’s influence is one of the things that is highlighted.
I guess they will need a few actors to play Michael, with a new one appearing every time he has some work done on his face.
Oh I agree - no harm no foul - I love Diana but I was just thinking there is Elizabeth Taylor, Brooke, Lisa Marie, Debbie Rowe, the model whose name I forget, Lving with Latoya, Janet, Rebe, Gladys Knight, oh and don't let me forget Madonna. Again, without which part and which stage of his life they choose to cover it could be confusing. I guess we will have to wait and see.
