Hot Trailer for Whitney Houston's Biopic on Lifetime

First Look at Bobby Brown in the Whitney Houston Lifetime Movie

Yaya DaCosta Alafia is Whitney Houston in the Lifetime Biopic

Do y'all remember Yaya from America's Next Top Model (Eva won that season)?

Well, she just got the role of a lifetime.

Yaya DaCosta Alafia has been cast as Whitney Houston in Angela Bassett-Directed Lifetime Biopic.

Here's more from Shadow and Act

Angela Bassett will make her directorial debut with the Lifetime Original Movie, tentatively titled "Whitney Houston," which will chronicle the headline-making relationship between the iconic singer, actress, producer and model, and singer, songwriter Bobby Brown - from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity, to their courtship and tumultuous marriage.

Bassett will direct from a script penned by Shem Bitterman ("Betty & Coretta" - the Lifetime Original Movie that Bassett starred in last year). Larry Sanitsky (who produced "Betty & Coretta") will do the same for "Whitney Houston."

Yaya has the look and the growing acting chops. I will get her a shot.
