Who Could Play Patti LaBelle in a Biopic? The ‘Godmother of Soul’ Reveals

Patti LaBelle, also called the “Godmother of Soul,” has some ideas about who should play her in a biopic, ESSENCE Magazine reported.

The effortless powerhouse singer, artist, actress and pie-making businesswoman boasts a careeer of over 60 years in Hollywood, which allows for the actress portraying LaBelle more than enough diva material to use.

ESSENCE reported taht LaBelle spoke to Access Hollywood recently about her work, where she discussed the biopic.

The conversation naturally turned to singer-actress Jennifer Hudson and her portrayal of Aretha Franklin in an upcoming movie.
