Alicia Keys will play Lena Horne in a movie on the music legend and not Janet Jackson as was rumored earlier.
Talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who has taken over the project, wanted Keys in the lead role, pagesix.com reports. She said: ‘We are going to start filming next year. And we have got Alicia.’
The casting seems to be making sense since Keys and Horne share a lot in common. Both were from New York and became famous quickly. Keys is a spokesperson for several AIDS organizations and Horne was heavily involved in the civil rights movement.
