A new biopic depicting the life and times of the legendary Janet Jackson may be on the way in the not-so-distant future.
According to a report from The Jasmine Brand on Tuesday (April 28), the film about Ms. Jackson “is being finalized” and auditions have already started. As expected, however, things have been temporarily paused due to the coronavirus.
Jackson’s vast history in both the music industry and television stretches back decades. In 1976, she co-starred in the television series The Jacksons before appearing in several other popular television shows throughout the ’70s and ’80s, including Good Times, Diff’rent Strokes and Fame.
