Bessie Smith.
As announced last summer, Queen Latifah will play the blues singer on an upcoming HBO biopic.
Bessie, directed by (lesbian) helmer Dee Rees (Pariah), will chronicle the story of Smith, from her turbulent personal life (she was married to a man...but she had a female lover) to her transformation into one of the most iconic singers of the 20th century.
A premiere date is still TBD, but ya know you’ll be watching....
