Aretha Franklin's Wish List
For the past few years Aretha Franklin has been talking about filming her bio-pic and she's got all the parts cast, in her head anyway...
Aretha's already made it known she wants Halle Berry to play her, much to Halle's chagrin [click here if you missed that], and now she's filled out the rest of the cast.
ReeRee wants Blair Underwood to play her brother Cecil, Nia Long to play her older sister Erma and Kerry Washington to play her younger sister Carolyn.
Aretha's reps insists the names are merely a "wish list" and no actors have yet been contacted about any parts.
The bio-pic, titled 'These Roots' will be based on Aretha's 1999 autobiography of the same name.
