WHITNEY (2018)
Starring Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Cissy Houston, Clive Davis, L.a. Reid, Gary Houston, Kevin Costner, Arsenio Hall, Byron Allen and David Letterman. Directed by Kevin MacDonald.

With over 200 million album sales worldwide, and remaining the only artist to chart seven consecutive US No. 1’s, Whitney Houston was the voice of a generation. Coming from an esteemed lineage of singers, Whitney was destined to be plucked from her gospel-singing roots to rule the world stage. She inspired a generation of singers from Mariah Carey to Beyoncé and her unforgettable performance of The Star-Spangled Banner unlocked an anthem that had for so long been dismissed by many black artists.
