From Entertainment Weekly last October:
Asked about the upcoming National Geographic series ''Genius: Aretha,'' starring Cynthia Erivo, Hudson takes a delicate pause, then chooses her words carefully: “I know that Aretha was adamant that [her life] be a film. If it’s not a film, it’s nothing. I’m just honored that she picked me to play her. I mean, who can say that? And again, I would have never done it without her wishes.” |
