Angela Bassett considers it a “gift” to be able to tell Whitney Houston’s story in the upcoming Lifetime biopic. Bassett, who is making her directorial debut with the TV movie about the late singer, was responding to criticism about the upcoming biopic.
“I consider it a gift that was given to me, the opportunity to tell this story and try to tell it with love and compassion and dignity,” Bassett told “HuffPost Live.” “I, like, everyone adored her.”
Bassett worked with Houston on the 1995 hit film “Waiting to Exhale.”
“We had a wonderful time together,” Bassett recalled, adding that she and Houston and the other two female co-stars would go bowling and play cards off the set. “She was very young and at the top of her game. It was a delightful time. She was amazing to be around.”
