Halle Berry might be sipping on some of that Aretha Franklin right now — but not in a way that’s beneficial to the Queen of Soul. You know Re-Re has been going hardcore to get Halle to play her in a biopic, to which the actress basically said, thanks but no thanks. Turns out, Halle has a girl crush of her own who she’s thirsty to play and appears to be getting nowhere with: Angela Davis.
In the latest issue of In Style, which Halle Berry covers, she tells the magazine it’s her dream to play the civil rights activist in a major Hollywood picture.
“Her story is so fascinating,” she said. “I would love to bring it to the screen. I would pick her brain to have a better understanding of her affiliation with the Black Panthers and that period from the 1960s.”
