Whitney Houston was an integral part of Bobby Brown’s life, so the person who plays her in telling the Bobby Brown story is actually a second lead to Bobby’s character. That second lead in this situation is just as important as the first lead in order to convey the story as the stars lived it.
BET after looking at several potentials has selected Gabrielle Dennis to play the legend Whitney Houston in their upcoming two-part miniseries that’s scheduled to premiere September 2018. The series will be based on the couple’s turbulent relationship which produced successes, struggles and failures during their marriage from 1992 to 2007.
The Bobby Brown Story which is currently filming in Atlanta, is executive produced by Jesse Collins (The New Edition Story) for JCE Films, a division of Jesse Collins Entertainment; written by Abdul Williams (Lottery Ticket, The New Edition Story) and directed by Spike Lee protégé Kiel Adrian Scott.
