Hello guys,
I just saw in my AOL news that legendary singer and actress Lena Horne died at the age of 92. She was one of the most beautiful and talented people of her era and of all time. She was a trailblazer. She will be missed
Here is a link to the article:
www.aolnews.com/entertainment/article/legendary-singer-lena-horne-dies-at-92/19470557?icid=main
In a side note, Alicia Keys is set to play Lena Horne in a bio pic, should be pretty good. Alicia has shown that she can act as well as sing and she is beautiful as well
Here is a little blurb about the movie project from 2 years ago:
Lena Horne bio flick to feature Alicia Keys
ALICIA KEYS TO PLAY LENA HORNE. PageSix.com is reporting that Alicia Keys will play Lena Horne in a movie about the music legend. Janet Jackson was previously rumored to take the part. According to the site, Oprah Winfrey, who has taken over the project, wanted Keys in the lead role. The talk show host said, “We are going to start filming next year. And we have got Alicia.” Horne, 90, has been deeply involved in the casting process and had asked Jackson to remove herself from the project after the Super Bowl controversy.

very sad about Lena, she was a major entertainer and talent! I am excited about the movie about her life. Not many have the power, pull and money like Oprah. She can get things done thanks for the information Lisa
