A Lena Horne biopic has been in the works for years and as far back as 2004 singer Janet Jackson was slated to play the role until Lena apparently had her booted because of the Superbowl scandal. Not much was heard about the project after that but now Page Six is reporting that Oprah Winfrey has taken control of the project and cast Alicia Keys in the lead role.
Oprah raved about the new project at the premiere of "The Great Debaters" saying:
"We're going to start filming next year," she revealed. "And we've got Alicia."
