Life Story

Just curious.If you could have life story made in a film,who are the actors/actresses that would star in the movie?Also what characters would they portray?Here are my choices:

  • Item 1
  • Kimberly Elise or Vivica Fox-Me

  • Item 2
  • Lynn Whitfield or Angela Bassett-My Mom

  • Item 3
  • Ernie Hudson or Courtney B.Vance-My Dad

    Morris Chestnut would be my FH.My two daughters and Future Stepsons would portray themselves.(Although,I'm thinking Nick Cannon and are possible stepsons).What are your choices?

Re: Life Story

Jada Pinkett Smith- Me
Angela Bassett- Mom
Billie Dee Williams- Dad
John Amos- Step dad
Shamar Moore- FH
The guy who played "Ace" in Paid in Full (don't remember his name)- Ex Husband
These two would have to be in my story cause they are part of my life:
Mekhi Phifer- Son's dad
Andre 3000- Daughter's Dad
(I will end there or it would go on forever cause I have 3 sisters, 2 brothers, my kids, my stepmom (who would be a wicked witch), my best friend, etc......)

Re: Life Story

This is a wonderful topic!! I never thought about this...Well, I probably would want Sanaa Lathan, Nicole Ari Parker or Megan Good (because I'm light-skinned) or Gabrielle Union (just because she's a wonderful actress) to play me. Morris Chestnut would play my FH (My FH is a College Football Player) and Lynn Whitfield would play my mother.

Re: Life Story

Speaking of Fantasia, did anyone see her life story on Lifetime? I saw it a few weeks ago. It was inspiring. She played her(older)self in the movie.

Re: Life Story

I read something where they said that fantasia's father was sueing the network because he said they falsified the story.

Yes I saw it. It was inspiring. Wow, if her dad is sueing the network, they should've checked gotten his permission before doing that film.

Re: Life Story

(I don't want him to sue Fantasia) It was her story from her point of view. If that were the case people would be suing everybody cause people tell their stories from how they see it and if one person was not portrayed the way they want to be, then they will sue. We sue for everything in America!!

Re: Life Story

I saw the Fantasia story and I loved it.I don't understand why her father is suing.If anything,it shows that if he hadn't insisted that she go back to the civic center to audition,she would never have become the winner of American Idol.
