There was a bit of an uproar last month when it was revealed that Zoe Saldana had been chosen to play Nina Simone in an upcoming bio-pic [click here if you missed that].
Singer-Actress Jill Scott chimes in on the controversy and says she thinks Zoe could do the role justice if she's given a prosthetic nose and skin darkening make-up...
Jill tells Hello Beautiful
"Zoe is an incredible actress–I think that she’s a fine actress. I think that there should be some work done, like a prosthetic nose would be helpful and definitely some darker makeup. If Forest Whittaker can become darker in “The Last King Of Scotland” than I believe Nina should be treated with that respect. She was very adamant about her color about her nose about her shape and her self and there needs to be some homage paid to that."
