LeToya Luckett to Play Dionne Warwick in Biopic


USmagazine.com:
Destiny fulfilled! Destiny’s Child alum LeToya Luckett is set to play Dionne Warwick in an upcoming biopic about the R&B legend, the singer announced at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, May 13, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"She is perfect and she has exactly the right look," Warwick, 75, raved of Luckett’s impending performance as the powerhouse vocalist. "She will bring out what is needed for this part."

THR reports that the movie, suitably titled Dionne, will cover the beginning of Warwick’s storied career from 1962 to 1968. It was during this period that the five-time Grammy winner crafted some of her most memorable tracks, including “I Say a Little Prayer.”
