I found this article on the web:

HOUSTON GETS A BOOST FROM HORNE

WHITNEY HOUSTON has been given the perfect incentive to overcome her
drug troubles once and for all - singing legend LENA HORNE wants THE
BODYGUARD star to play her in an upcoming biopic.

JANET JACKSON lost Horne's vote to play her when the pop superstar
bared her breast at last year's (04) SUPER BOWL, and now the STORMY
WEATHER singer has given her blessing for troubled Houston to step
into her shoes.

According to sources, Houston wrote a letter to Horne, asking her for
permission to bring her life to the big screen in a planned biopic,
and the singing legend agreed to the request just before the soul
star checked into rehabilitation earlier this month (MAR05) for
ongoing drug treatment.

This would be interesting if it is true. I know that Lena is very
fond of Whitney, so it is not preposterous. As well, I think Whitney
could be very credible as Lena but for the fact that she can't act.
So I guess we'll see if anything develops.
