From ABC’s ‘Superstar’ (2020) and Lifetime’s ‘Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All’ (2020) and ‘Whitney’ (2015) to Showtime’s ‘Can I Be Me’ (2017), the big screen biographical documentary ‘Whitney’ (2018), the forthcoming big screen scripted biopic, ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ (2022), and more, Houston’s story has been dissected, analyzed, and reimagined in several different formats.
